Glyph origin

Historical forms of the character
Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han)
Small seal script

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *l̥ʰoːŋʔ, *l'oːŋʔ): semantic (wood) + phonetic (OC *loŋʔ).

Etymology

Unclear; compare Khmer ថាំង (thang), Thai ถัง (tǎng), which would suggest an areal word. See also Chepang [script needed] (dʰuŋ, container, pot-shaped storage basket) (Schuessler, 2007), as well as perhaps Burmese တောင်း (taung:, basket).

However, the Old Chinese reconstructions make a formal relation difficult, and any borrowings would have to be from the Middle Chinese period and after. For potential inherited cognates, note instead similarities with Burmese လှောင် (hlaung, to store up, shut up).

Pronunciation


Note:
  • tháng - vernacular;
  • thóng - literary.
