Etymology

Pictogram (象形) – a street intersection. Original form of 行 (OC *ɡaːŋ, “place”). Later phonetically borrowed to represent 行 (OC *ɡaːŋs, “to go”). Originally symmetric, it has been simplified asymmetrically; the left half 彳 (chì) is widely used as a radical, while the right half 亍 (chù) finds occasional use, and the character can be broken up as 彳 + 亍, though originally it was not a compound. Schuessler (2007) tentatively considers the word to be borrowed from Mon-Khmer; compare Khmer រង (rɔɔng, “ridge, gutter”). Note also similarities to Burmese ကျင့် (kyang., “to practice”) (Luce, 1981).
