Etymology
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *tʰaːŋʔ): semantic 身 (“body”) + phonetic 尚 (OC *djaŋ, *djaŋs). This word is first attested in the Yuan dynasty as 倘. Many scholars connect this word to a relatively obscure character 踼／𰸄 (tǎng), glossed as 申足伏臥 (“to extend the legs and lie prostrate”) in the rime dictionary Jiyun (Chao et al., 1948; Zhengzhang, 2003). Yang (2024) argues instead that this word comes from 挺 (tǐng, “to straighten; to lie flat”).
