Etymology

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *sʰiɡ): semantic 水 (“water”) + phonetic 桼 (OC *sʰiɡ, “resin used to make varnish”). 桼 originally referred to this word, 水 was added later. From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *r-tsəj (“medicine; juice; paint”). Cognate with Jingpho tsì (“medicine”), Tibetan རྩི (rtsi, “juice; fluid; paint”), Burmese ဆေး (hce:, “medicine; potion; poison; paint”).
