Pictogram (象形) – a kind of agricultural tool used for tilling the fields and removing weeds (Guo, 1931; Qiu, 1992), possibly made of a kind of large clam (OC *djɯns, *djɯnʔ, *djins) (Guo, 1931).

Alternatively, it could be a pictogram (象形) of a person holding onto a cliff – original character of (OC *tjɯn, *tjɯns, “to hold up”) (Shang, 1983).

Etymology

“to vibrate”
Related to (OC *tjɯn, “to shake”) and (OC *tjɯn, *tjɯns, “to excite”), from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *dar ~ d(u/i)r (to tremble; to shiver) (Schuessler, 2007).
“fifth earthly branch”
Norman (1985) suggests that it is from Austroasiatic; compare Proto-Austroasiatic *tlan (python), whence Vietnamese trăn, Khmer ថ្លាន់ (thlan), Mon ကၠန် (klɔn). However, Ferlus (2013) points to reconstructions like *dər (Baxter & Sagart) and *ᴸdzɨr (Ferlus) and remarks that those do not match any animal's name in Mainland Southeast Asian (MSEA) languages. Therefore, might have been associated arbitrarily with the dragon ().
Smith (2011) agrees with the proposal (e.g. by Guo, 1931) that (OC dən) initially depicted an agricultural implement made from clams' shells and was the original form of (OC dəns, “mollusc, clam”); so he proposes that the fifth earthly branch depicted the moon's second waning-gibbous phase, which looks like a clam. He also suggests that (chén) also represented the ovoid-shaped rising sun and is thus related to (chén, “early morning”).
“time”
From (OC *djɯ, “time”) + nominalizing suffix -n, literally “that which is proceeding” (Schuessler, 2007). This word partially converges with (OC *djɯn, *ɦljɯn, “morning”) (ibid.).
“heavenly body”
The endopassive of (OC *tjɯn, *tjɯns, “to shake; to stir”), literally “to stir oneself”, i.e. “when life begins to stir” > “heavenly bodies that mark time” (ibid.).
