Historical forms of the character給
Shuowen Jiezi (compiled inHan)	Liushutong (compiled inMing)
Small seal script	Transcribed ancient scripts

According to Shuowen Jiezi,Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声,OC*krub): semantic 糸 + phonetic 合(OC*kuːb, *ɡuːb) – "rich, abundant", perhaps with a reference to precious silk; today it also means "to give". The phonetic component means "to join, to unite", however it is likely unrelated to the original meaning.

Starostin reconstructsProto-Sino-Tibetan*qǝ̆p(“to give; to supply”), comparing it toBurmeseအပ်(ap,“to commit; to deliver; to hand over”),Jingphoap(“to hand over”),Lepchaᰀᰤᰬᰱ(kjep,“to add to; to multiply”),ᰃᰤᰱ(gjap,“many”).

In Mandarin, Jin and Xiang, pronunciations 1 and 2 are generally thought of ascolloquial and literary readings respectively, from the sameMiddle Chinese etymon (Zhengzhang, 2002;Liu, 2021; among others). Pronunciation 2, the literary reading, is a regular reflex fromMiddle Chinese. However, since pronunciation 1 is highly irregular, others have proposed alternative etymologies for it:

• From the contraction of過與 (MC kwaH yoX, “to pass to”) (Ikeda, 1962;Hirayama, 2000, 2010;Wang, 2022);
• From乞 (MC khj+t|khj+jH, “to give”) (Zhang, 1989); and
• From饋 (MC gwijH, “to gift”) (Shimura, 1995).
