Phono-semantic compound (形聲形声, OC *doŋ, *doŋʔ, *doŋs) and ideogrammic compound (會意会意) : semantic (man) + phonetic (OC *toːŋ, bag) – a man carrying a bag. A glyph (“earth”) was later added to show that the bag-carrying man is standing on the ground. From this composition (𡍺) is the current form. In the modern form, the man on top can be seen as (however, the upper part of the character is unrelated to ).

Etymology

[edit]

Schuessler (2007) notes that the etymology is uncertain and compares the word to Burmese စုံ (cum, to be sufficient; pair), which STEDT puts under Proto-Sino-Tibetan *dzum ~ tsum (pair).

Pronunciation 3 is the exoactive derivation of pronunciation 1.
