Glyph origin[edit]
Originally written as 畮, a phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *mɯʔ) : semantic 田 (“field”) + phonetic 每 (OC *mɯːʔ). The phonetic component 每 was later replaced with 又, now written as the new phonetic component 久 (OC *kʷlɯʔ). The component 十 was added above 田 in the Warring States period and was later corrupted into 亠 in clerical script.
Etymology[edit]
Possibly Sino-Tibetan. Compare Tibetan རྨོ (rmo), རྨོས (rmos, “to plow”), རྨོད (rmod, “plowing”), རྨོན་པ (rmon pa, “plow-ox”), Karbi [Term?] (-mò, “classifier for strips of fields”) (Bodman, 1980; Baxter, 1992; Schuessler, 2007).
Schuessler (2007) also suggests a connection to an Austroasiatic root, whence Old Khmer cval (“to enter; to penetrate; (of animals) to copulate”), Khmu [script needed] (cmɔɔl, “to plant (rice) with a digging stick”), [script needed] (crmɔɔl, “digging stick”) (cf. Ferlus, 1987). The semantic development would be “digging stick” > “plowing” > “mu”. He also connects this to 牡 (OC *mɯwʔ, “male animal”); see there for more.

- Huò wèn: “Wéi zhèng yǒu jī?” Yuē: “Sī yì.” […] Huò wèn: “Hé sī? Hé yì?” Yuē: “Lǎo rén lǎo, gū rén gū, bìngzhě yǎng, sǐzhě zàng, nánzǐ mǔ, fùrén sāng, zhī wèi sī. Ruò wū rén lǎo, qū rén gū, bìngzhě dú, sǐzhě pò, tiánmǔ huāng, zhùzhóu kōng, zhī wèi yì.” [Pinyin]
- One asked, ‘As for doing politics, is there something vital?’ Yangzi said, ‘To wish for and to loathe.’ […] One asked, ‘What to wish for? What to loathe?’ Yangzi said, ‘Treat others’ elderly as elderly, treat others’ orphans as orphans; nourish the sick and bury the dead; let men tend their croplands and let women tend the mulberry trees. This is what [I] called “to wish for”. If disrespect others’ elderly, distress others’ orphan, the sick gets alone and the dead gets [their bodies] exposed; croplands get deserted and looms get empty. This is what [I] called “to loathe”.’
或问：「为政有几？」曰：「思𭣧。」[…] 或问：「何思？何𭣧？」曰：「老人老，孤人孤，病者养，死者葬，男子亩，妇人桑，之谓思。若污人老，屈人孤，病者独，死者逋，田亩荒，杼轴空，之谓𭣧。」 [Classical Chinese, simp.]
