Etymology

In current form, 竹 (“bamboo”) + 目 + 廾. The 目 portion may have originally represented counting rods (or possibly an abacus, although the character is believed to predate its invention). Such rods were typically made from bamboo. Perhaps related to the top component of 學, hence to 爻. Similar but unrelated to 具. It has been compared with Tibetan གཤོར (gshor, “to count, to measure, to weigh”) by Gong (1995).
