Glyph origin[edit]

Originally (kuài), phono-semantic compound (形聲形声) : phonetic (OC *naːds) + semantic (lacking, desire), meaning desire. The 木 component was simplified into 士 via libian, similar to .[1]

Shuowen Jiezi interprets it as Phono-semantic compound (形聲形声, OC *kʰloːnʔ) : abbreviated phonetic (OC *kʰloːnʔ) + semantic (lacking, desire).
