Chinese
Glyph origin
Ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意) : 水 (“water”) + 步 (“walk”) – to wade across.
Its oracle bone script and bronze inscription were composed of a 水 and two 止 (“foot”), depicting two feet on both sides of the water. Two forms, however, were given in Shuowen, with the first one consisting of a 步 sandwiched between two 水, and the second a 水 to the left of a 步, the predecessor of the current form.
