Ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意 ) : 一 ( “ drop of blood ” ) + 皿 ( “ container ” ) - a drop of blood inside a chalice for sacrificial uses.
Etymology
From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s-hjwəj-t ( “ blood ” ) (STEDT; Schuessler, 2007 ).
Baxter and Sagart (2014) reconstruct the Old Chinese as *m̥ˤik to account for word-family connections with 脈 (OC *C.mˤ<r>k , “vein”), 衊 (OC *mˤi , “defiled blood”) as well as its use as a phonetic component in 侐 (OC *m̥(r)ik , “still; quiet”), which is in the same word family as 宓 (OC *mi , “quiet; silent”) (Sagart, 1999b ; Baxter and Sagart, 2017 ). Sagart (1999b) argues that this word is not genetically related to the Tibeto-Burman form with *s-hjw- , but that this word has been borrowed into Tibeto-Burman .
