Historical forms of the character得
Shang		Western Zhou	Warring States	Shuowen Jiezi (compiled inHan)
Bronze inscriptions	Oracle bone script	Bronze inscriptions	Chu slip and silk script	Small seal script

Ideogrammic compound (會意 /会意). The ancient form of得 is㝵, composed of貝 (“cowry”) +又 (“hand”) — to pick up a cowry > to obtain valuables. A component彳 was sometimes added to show that the cowry was picked up on the road.

In the Qin Bamboo and Slip script:

• a horizontal line was added to the又, which means it is replaced with the related寸. This is a feature of Qin script, and many characters that used to compound with又 now compound with寸.

In theShuowen seal script:

• the貝 corrupts into something resembling見. However, this should be an error ofShuowen because it can only be only found inShuowen and not in historical Qin Seal script, Qin Bamboo, and Slip script.

In the clerical script:

• the貝 is simplified as目 (“eye”); such simplification can be seen in its early form in Spring and Autumn and Warring States bronze inscriptions, Chu Bamboo, and Silk script, as well as other characters such as具. Then it corrupts into旦 (“dawn”) in later clerical script, and Regular script inherited it.

Pulleyblank (1991) relates it toTibetanཐུབ(thub,“to be able to; to withstand”).
