==Chinese==
{{zh-forms|alt=丅-ancient,𠄟}}

===Glyph origin===
{{Han etyl}}
In oracle bone script, it is an {{liushu|i|nocap=y}} that shows the concept of "down" by showing one line ''below'' another (contrast {{m|zh|上}}). This form evolved into 下 in later scripts, the character used today.

===Etymology===
From {{der|zh|sit-pro|*(k/g)la-k/j/t||to fall}} (STEDT):
* inside Sinitic, cognate with {{och-l|落|to fall, to drop}}, {{och-l|露|dew}}, {{och-l|陊|to collapse}} and {{och-l|阤|hillside, slope}};
* outside Sinitic, cognate with {{cog|lus|tla ~ tlâk||to fall}}, {{m|lus|thla ~ thlâk||to drop}}, {{cog|my|ကျ||to fall}} and {{m|my|ချ||to drop}}.

{{zh-ref|Schuessler (2007)}} instead proposed an {{der|zh|aav}} origin by comparing {{och-l|下|id=1|to descend, down, below}} to {{cog|km|tr=gra'ka|t=be low, debased}}; additionally, he suggested that Sino-Tibetan influence had possibly caused the weakening of foreign final *''-k'' to OC final *''-ʔ''. He derives the departing tone ({{zh-l|*去聲}}) pronunciation via two derivations:
* {{och-l|下|id=2|to be put down}} is an [[exopassive]] derivation ([[ibid.]]);
* {{och-l|下|id=2|to descend, to fall}} is a later, general departing tone derivative ([[ibid.]]).
