Translingual [edit]
Etymology [edit]
Phono-semantic compound (形聲): semantic 扌 (“hand”) + phonetic 丁
This word was pronounced *teŋ in Old Chinese, as would be expected from a 丁 phonetic. (The word was previously written with 丁 itself before the addition of the 扌 component.) By the early Ming period, the character had been borrowed for another word with the same meaning but a different pronunciation (Middle Chinese ta). There appears to be no etymological relationship between the two words. In Chinese, the new reading became standard; however, derivations of the older pronunciation are still used in Japanese (ちょう chō, てい tei) and Vietnamese (đánh).
