Historical forms of the character
Shang Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han)
Oracle bone script Small seal script

Shuowen: Phono-semantic compound (形聲形声, OC *mpin) : phonetic 𡧍 (OC *meːnʔ) + semantic .

In oracle bone script, ideogrammic compound (會意会意) : a person in a building – a guest.

Variants that replaced with (OC *mans, *mɯːɡ) were also common, and posited to be the original form of (OC *meːnʔ), which would also act as the character's phonetic component, which has corrupted into ⿱一𣥂 in the modern form.

Bronze inscriptions added (“money; valuables”), signifying gifts.

Etymology

From n-nominalization of Proto-Sino-Tibetan *hin (to give). Cognate with (OC *bin, “to become a bride”), which is an endopassive of (OC *mpin, “lit, "to be received like a guest"”). See (OC *pids, “to give”) for more cognates.
