Glyph origin

[edit]

Historical forms of the character好
Shang	Western Zhou	Shuowen Jiezi (compiled inHan)	Liushutong (compiled inMing)
Oracle bone script	Bronze inscriptions	Small seal script	Transcribed ancient scripts

Characters in the samephonetic series (好)(Zhengzhang, 2003)

	Old Chinese
薅	*qʰuː
好	qʰuːʔ, qʰuːs

Ideogrammic compound (會意 /会意): 女(“woman”) + 子(“child”).

The widely accepted meaning of this character is that the characters for“female” (女) and“child” (子) were put together to form a compound because it was good for a woman to have a child. Similarly, it has been proposed that the compound originally refers to the mutual affection between the mother and child, which then extended to mean“good”. These theories are supported by the smaller子 found in some oracle bones and bronze inscriptions. See also保 and the original version of乳.

However, broader interpretations of the second character子 could lead to other theories.子 could also mean“son”, so it may have meant two children, a boy and a girl next to each other, which is a good fortune to have a boy and a girl.子 could also mean“man”, so it may have referred to the love between a man and a woman, which is good.Duan Yucai, in his annotated version ofShuowen, interpreted it as originally referring to the beauty ofwoman. Lastly, it could mean that the“attitude” of a girl was considered good.

Etymology

[edit]

The two pronunciations are cognate – pronunciation 2 is the*-s suffixed form, or exoactive/putative of pronunciation 1, literally“to consider good”. Compare惡 (OC*qaːɡ, “bad;evil”) >惡 (OC*qaːɡs, “to considerbad; tohate”).

This word has been compared withProto-Sino-Tibetan*hu(“to raise; to rear; to nourish”):Proto-Lolo-Burmese*hu³, Abor-Miri (Tani)u, MawoNorthern Qiangχu, which is only attested in a limited number of languages. If this is correct, it may be related to畜 (OC*l̥ʰuɡs, *l̥ʰuɡ, *hluɡ, “to raise; to rear; domesticated animal”). Alternatively, compareTibetanམཁོ(mkho,“necessary, important”).

Cognate withCentral Baihux(“good”), which may be a loanword from Chinese.
