===Glyph origin===
{{Han etym}}
{{liushu|p}} – a tree with two layers of branches, or a tree's top branches not yet at full growth, signifying not grown (yet)

===Etymology===
; "not yet"
: Fusion of negator {{och-l|無}} with perfective particle {{och-l|既|already}} ({{zh-ref|Jacques, 2000}}; similarly proposed by {{zh-ref|Pulleyblank, 1995}}, apud {{zh-ref|Schuessler, 2007}}).

; "eighth earthly branch"
: {{zh-ref|Smith (2011)}} proposes that this word denoted the waxing moon's "impending stage" before full moon. This word's early sense might be "tip" > "on the tipping point" if it could be connected to {{och-l|末|tip}}, which is similar graphically and phonologically; though what morphological mechanism which can associate them two is unclear.
: As for its association with the goat, {{zh-ref|Ferlus (2013)}} notes there is good correspondence with Austronesian {{cog|tay|miːts||lamb}}; also compare {{cog|lo|ມົດ||year of the lamb}}.
