Glyph origin[edit]

Characters in the same phonetic series (庶) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
褯 *zljaːɡs
遮 *tjaː
蔗 *tjaːɡs
鷓 *tjaːɡs
樜 *tjaːɡs, *hljaɡs
蟅 *tjaːɡs, *tjaːɡ
嗻 *tjaːɡs
鍍 *daː, *daːɡs
度 *daːɡs, *daːɡ
渡 *daːɡs
庶 *hljaɡs
剫 *daːɡ
踱 *daːɡ
喥 *daːɡ
謶 *tjaɡ
席 *ljaːɡ
蓆 *ljaːɡ
墌 *tjaːɡ
摭 *tjaːɡ
蹠 *tjaːɡ

Originally an ideogrammic compound (會意): 石 (“rock”) + 又 (“hand”) — hand measuring a piece of rock. Also a phono-semantic compound (形聲), with 石 (OC *djaɡ) as a phonetic component. 石 is then corrupted into ⿸广廿.

Shuowen considers it to be a phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *daːɡs, *daːɡ): phonetic 庶 (OC *hljaɡs) + semantic 又.

Compare 庶 (OC *hljaɡs) and 席 (OC *ljaːɡ).

Etymology 1[edit]

simp. and trad.
 度

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *m-twa (“handspan”). Cognate with Tibetan མཐོ (mtho, “span; span of thumb and middle finger”), Burmese ထွာ (htwa, “to measure by a handspan; a quarter yard”), အထွာ (a.htwa, “handspan; quarter yard”), တွက် (twak, “to consider, to reckon; to calculate; to refuse to do things because others would not”), အတွက် (a.twak, “calculation; because of; for the sake of”). It is unclear whether Proto-Mon-Khmer *cɗaʔ (“span; handspan”) (whence Mon ဍ (daˀ, “to measure by spans of thumb and middle finger”)) is related. Related to 圖 (OC *daː, “to plan; to consider; plan; map”).
