Glyph origin
|
Old Chinese
|
發
|
*pad
|
癹
|
*pʰaːd, *baːd
|
Phono-semantic compound (形聲/形声, OC *pad) : semantic 弓 (“bow”) + phonetic 癹 (OC *pʰaːd, *baːd).
Etymology 1
STEDT compares 發 (OC *pad) to Proto-Sino-Tibetan *m-p(r)ats (“to vomit”), whence Proto-Lolo-Burmese *C-pat (“to vomit”) (> Burmese ပစ် (pac, “to shoot, to throw, to eject”)) and Jingpho ǹ-phàt (“to vomit”).
According to Schuessler (2007), this is an area word; compare Proto-Vietic *ɓah (“to vomit”), Mon ပန် (“to shoot”).
A derivation is probably 廢 (OC *pads, “to cast aside”).
