Glyph origin

Characters in the same phonetic series (竹) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
竺 *tuːɡ, *tuːɡ, *tuɡ
篤 *tuːɡ
竹 *tuɡ
筑 *tuɡ, *duɡ
築 *tuɡ
茿 *tuɡ

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *tuɡ) : phonetic 筑 (OC *tuɡ, *duɡ) + semantic 木 (“wood”).

Etymology

According to STEDT, from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *tsuk ~ tsik (“to build”); cognate with Tibetan རྩིག (rtsig, “to build”), Proto-Lolo-Burmese *ʔtsukᴴ (“to build”) (whence Burmese ဆောက် (hcauk, “to build”)).

On the other hand, Schuessler (2007) derives this from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *truk, whence also Tibetan རྡུག (rdug, “to conquer; to vanquish”) and Burmese တိုက် (tuik, “to dash against; to bump against”). STEDT derives the Tibetan word from Proto-Tibeto-Burman *m/r-tuk (“cut; knock; pound”).
