Glyph origin

[edit]
Historical forms of the character
Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han)
Small seal script

Phono-semantic compound (形聲形声, OC *sʰaːn) : phonetic 𣦼 () + semantic (to eat; meal; food). Its original meaning was "to swallow".

Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *m-dz(j)a-k/n/t/s (to eat; food; to feed; rice), whence Tibetan (za, to eat); probably also related to (OC *ʔsaʔ, *zaʔ, “to chew”) (STEDT; Benedict, 1972; Schuessler, 2007).

Alternatively, it may be compared to Tibetan འཚལ ('tshal, to eat), ཚལ་མ (tshal ma, breakfast) (Coblin, 1986; Schuessler, 2007; Hill, 2019).
