Pictogram (象形) – a sugarcane with full stems, with some points around (either leaves or drops of sweet liquid) and an open and smiling mouth at the bottom. This is the original character for either蔗 (OC*tjaːɡs, “sugarcane”) or煮 (OC*tjaʔ, “to boil”). Phonetically loaned for abstract meanings.

Top component耂 is unrelated to老,考, and孝.

The variant form with an additional丶 stroke below耂 is influenced byShuowen, which considered白 as the bottom component of者.

one who, -er, nominalizing suffix

Etymologically related to之 (OC*tjɯ, “nominalizing, possessive particle”) and perhaps colloquial的 (Pulleyblank, 1995).

• Kun:もの(mono,者,Jōyō)、もん(mon,者)
• Nanori:ひさ(hisa)、ひと(hito)

⟨mo₂no₂⟩ →/mono/

FromOld Japanese. First attested in theNihon Shoki of 720.^[2] Theorized to derive fromProto-Japonic*mənə.

Cognate with物(もの)(mono,“thing”,physical as opposed to abstract).^[2][3][4]

In ancient texts marked with pronunciation information, this character was always read ashito until around the late 800s, at which point themono reading becomes prevalent.^[2] Themono reading has historically often been used with mild pejorative overtones, as compared to the more neutral term人(ひと)(hito).^[2][3][4] This may suggest a broadening of the original “thing” sense formono, which then was applied as a pejorative for a “person”.
