Glyph origin

[edit]

Ideogrammic compound (會意会意) and phono-semantic compound (形聲形声, OC *ɢʷiːds) : phonetic () + semantic (heart). Originally also written .

Etymology

[edit]

Related to (OC *ɢʷi, “to be”). Its usual meaning "kind, compliant" could be semantically extended from "should be" > "to consider / treat as it should / ought to be, as expected" as copulas tend to expand into full verb (Schuessler, 2007).
