Etymology

Phono-semantic compound (形聲): semantic 辶 (“walk”) + phonetic 言

The character was originally a verb meaning "to meet", whose modern pronunciation is yàn. It was later borrowed for the proximal demonstrative "this/here", by a confusion in handwriting with 遮. 遮箇 and 遮個 are found in old texts.
