Chinese
Glyph origin
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声): semantic 疒 (“illness; disease”) + phonetic 契 (OC *kʰeːds, *kʰeːd, *kʰeːd, *kʰɯd).
Etymology 1
Sagart (2021c) revises the Old Chinese reconstruction as *k(ə)-tet-s, from non-finite prefix *k(ə)- + a root *tet-s (“to bite”), from which 噬 (OC *m-tet-s, “to bite”) also derives.
