Ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意 phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声 OC *hljɯwɢ ): phonetic 尗 ( OC *hljɯwɢ “ wooden stake ” ) + semantic 又 ( “ hand ” ) – using a wooden stake to dig the ground. Later phonetically borrowed to mean "paternal uncle".
The whole character is partly related to建 since it represents a hand planting a wooden stake in the ground.
Sagart (1999) connects it to督 OC Old Chinese *ᵇs-tuk , the prefix possibly having a nominalizing function.
Alternatively,Starostin proposes a possible derivation fromProto-Sino-Tibetan *t(h)u (~ -iw) ( “ nephew ” ) and reconstructs theOld Chinese *tikʷ (<*tiw-k ?) ~*tu-k .
