Glyph origin

Historical forms of the character
Shang Western Zhou Warring States Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han) Liushutong (compiled in Ming)
Oracle bone script Bronze inscriptions Bronze inscriptions Chu slip and silk script Small seal script Transcribed ancient scripts

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *snaŋ): phonetic 𤕦 + semantic (Li Xueqin, 2012). However, the original version on oracle bones resembles a man with raised hands while undressing; later, a hand and the radical of the cloth were added.

Etymology

“to remove”
From *s- (causative) + (OC *naŋ, “to steal; to expel”) (Schuessler, 2007; Baxter and Sagart, 2014).
