Etymology
Ideogrammic compound (會意 /会意): 山 (“hill”) + 石 (“rock”). Originally written as 巖 – phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *ŋraːm): semantic 山 (“hill”) + phonetic 嚴 (OC *ŋam). The variant form 岩 first appeared in the clerical script in the Han dynasty era. Cognate with 嚴 (OC *ŋam, “majestic; stern; grave”) and 儼 (OC *ŋamʔ, “dignified; majestic”). See 嚴 for more. 癌 (ái, “cancer”) is a derivative of 岩.
