Shuowen:Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声,OC*tɯːns, *dɯːns): phonetic 𡱂(OC*duːn) + semantic 殳(“hand holding a weapon”) – the sound of hitting (not attested in ancient documents).
Chi (2010) considers the character to be developed from𠂤 (“buttocks”);尸 (“body”) and丌 (“pedestal”) are added to form𡱂 (“buttocks”), and殳 is added to emphasize the meaning of “hitting the buttocks”.
FromProto-Sino-Tibetan*r-t(u/i)l(“buttocks; heel; dull; blunt; rounded part”). CompareJingphoshatin(“buttocks”). Related to臀 (OC*duːn, “buttocks”) (Schuessler, 2007).
Whether “lofty building” is related is unclear;Chi (2010) suggests that it is a semantic extension of “buttocks”, which are elevated from the ground.
