Etymology
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声): phonetic 石 (OC *djaɡ, “rock”) + semantic 又 (“hand”). Duan Yucai argues that the presence of the hand component in this character is because the hand was used as a reference for measurement. 石 is then corrupted into . Shuowen considers it to be a phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声): phonetic 庶 (OC *hljaɡs) + semantic 又. Compare 庶 (OC *hljaɡs) and 席 (OC *ljaːɡ). From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *m-twa (“handspan”). Cognate with Tibetan མཐོ (mtho, “span; span of thumb and middle finger”), Burmese ထွာ (htwa, “to measure by a handspan; a quarter yard”), အထွာ (a.htwa, “handspan; quarter yard”), တွက် (twak, “to consider, to reckon; to calculate; to refuse to do things because others would not”), အတွက် (a.twak, “calculation; because of; for the sake of”). It is unclear whether Proto-Mon-Khmer *cɗaʔ (“span; handspan”) (whence Mon ဍ (daˀ, “to measure by spans of thumb and middle finger”)) is related. Related to 圖 (OC *daː, “to plan; to consider; plan; map”).
