Etymology
Ideogrammic compound (會意 /会意): 氏 + 日 (“sun”), or abbreviated 氐 + 日 (“sun”). Hence, the twilight or nightfall is the moment in which the sun (日) lowers and goes down (氏). From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s-mun (“dark”). Cognate with 悶 (OC *mɯːns, “bored; depressed”), Tibetan མུན་པ (mun pa, “darkness”), Burmese မှုန် (hmun, “dim; gloomy”).
