Originally an ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意 ) : 石 ( “ rock ” ) + 又 ( “ hand ” ) — hand measuring a piece of rock. Also a phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声 ) , with 石 (OC *djaɡ ) as a phonetic component. 石 is then corrupted into ⿸广廿 .
Shuowen considers it to be a phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声 , OC *daːɡs, *daːɡ ) : phonetic 庶 ( OC *hljaɡs) + semantic 又 .
Compare 庶 (OC *hljaɡs ) and 席 (OC *ljaːɡ ).
Etymology 1
From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *m-twa ( “ handspan ” ) . Cognate with Tibetan མཐོ ( mtho , “ span; span of thumb and middle finger ” ) , Burmese ထွာ ( htwa , “ to measure by a handspan; a quarter yard ” ) , အထွာ ( a.htwa , “ handspan; quarter yard ” ) , တွက် ( twak , “ to consider, to reckon; to calculate; to refuse to do things because others would not ” ) , အတွက် ( a.twak , “ calculation; because of; for the sake of ” ) . It is unclear whether Proto-Mon-Khmer *cɗaʔ ( “ span; handspan ” ) (whence Mon ဍ ( daˀ , “ to measure by spans of thumb and middle finger ” ) ) is related. Related to 圖 (OC *daː , “to plan; to consider; plan; map”).
