Etymology

According to Jiyun, from 聽／听 (tīng), short for 聽事／听事.

廳，古者治官處謂之聽事，後語省直曰聽，故加广。 [Classical Chinese, trad.]
厅，古者治官处谓之听事，后语省直曰听，故加广。 [Classical Chinese, simp.]
From: 1039, Jiyun
Tīng, gǔzhě zhìguān chù wèi zhī tīngshì, hòu yǔ xǐng zhí yuē tīng, gù jiā yǎn.
廳 / 厅 (tīng ‘hearing ’): The people of old called the government officials' bureaus ‘ hearing cases’; later the expression is shortened to just ‘hearing ’; so the radical 广 (yǎn) would be added.
