Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声 OC *rlaː ): semantic 艹 余 ( OC *la ) .
茶 , then slightly modified into a more conservative 茶, originates as a graphical modification of archaic荼 ( *rlaː ,“ bitter plant ” ) , used for “tea” in classical sources. The modern version is unrelated to the bottom component of條 .
Astea may have originated fromSichuan , where the nativeYi people speakLoloish languages ,Sagart (1999) suggests that the Old Chinese item was possibly originally borrowed fromProto-Loloish *la¹ ( “ tea ” ) , fromProto-Sino-Tibetan *s-la ( “ leaf; tea ” ) .Schuessler (2007) traces its ultimate origin toProto-Austroasiatic *slaʔ ( “ leaf ” ) (in Sidwell's 2024 reconstruction).
Alternatively,Qiu (1988) suggests that it might be a semantic extension of荼 ( *rlaː ,“ bitter plant ” ) .
