Chinese

trad. 嬖
simp. # 嬖

Glyph origin

Phono-semantic compound (形聲/形声, OC *peːɡs) : phonetic 辟 (OC *peɡ, *pʰeɡ, *beɡ) + semantic 女 (“woman”).

Etymology

According to Schuessler (2007), from Kam-Tai; compare Proto-Kam-Sui *ɓjaːk⁷ (“woman, girl”) & Proto-Tai *ɓɯːkᴰ (“girl”), (p. 164). Schuessler (2007) also considers that this may be a possible allofam or re-etymologization of 婢 (“female slave”), (p.158).
