Glyph origin

Phono-semantic compound (形聲形声, OC *lon) : semantic (metal) + phonetic (OC *lon) – a kind of metal.

Etymology

Most varieties have a pronunciation derived from a velar initial.

  • Schuessler (2007) see it a re-etymologization towards (MC khean|khen, “solid; hard”).
  • Per Liu (2022), it is from Wu, in which the character is used to denote an etymon meaning "tinplate" with this velar pronunciation. As for further etymology, Liu suggested it an Indo-European-sourced borrowing, cf. English can (metal container).

This etymology is incomplete. You can help Wiktionary by elaborating on the origins of this term.
