Glyph origin

Historical forms of the character 賓
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 貝.

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

Variants that replaced 人 with 万 (OC *mans, *mɯːɡ) were also common, and posited to be the original form of 丏 (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 貝 (“money; valuables”), signifying gifts.

Etymology

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