Glyph origin

Historical forms of the character 抱
Warring States Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han) Liushutong (compiled in Ming)
Qin slip script Small seal script Transcribed ancient scripts

Phono-semantic compound (形聲/形声, OC *buːʔ) : semantic 扌 + phonetic 包 (OC *pruː) – hold in one’s hands. Note that 包 has the meaning of “wrap”, hence connotations of “wrap in one’s hands, embrace”, thereby also making it an ideogrammic compound.

Pronunciation


Note:
  • bou6 - equivalent to 菢;
  • paau1 - equivalent to 拋.
