Characters in the same phonetic series (往) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
暀 *ɢʷaŋs, *ɢʷaŋʔ, *ɢʷaŋs
誑 *kʷaŋs, *ɡʷaŋ, *kʷaŋs
枉 *qʷaŋʔ
往 *ɢʷaŋ

Originally phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *ɢʷaŋ): semantic 止 (“foot”) + phonetic 王 (OC *ɢʷaŋ, *ɢʷaŋs). Later 彳 was added to form phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *ɢʷaŋ): semantic 彳 (“walk”) + semantic 止 (“foot”) + phonetic 王 (OC *ɢʷaŋ, *ɢʷaŋs).

The 止 and 王 have since fused into 㞷 and now 主.

Etymology[edit]

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s-wa-ŋ (“to go; to come”). Cognate with Burmese ဝင် (wang, “to come in; to enter”), Tibetan འོང ('ong, “to come”), ཡོང (yong, “to come”). Related to 于 (OC *ɢʷa, “to go”).

Pronunciation[edit]
