Etymology
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *peːɡ): semantic 土 (“earth”) + phonetic 辟 (OC *peɡ, *pʰeɡ, *beɡ) – an earthen wall. Lubotsky (1998) compares this to Proto-Tocharian *pəkənte (“hindering, obstacle”) as a possible loanword from Tocharian into Chinese. Židek (2017) finds this comparison doubtful.
