Glyph origin[edit]

Historical forms of the character 得
Shang Western Zhou Warring States Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han)
Bronze inscriptions Oracle bone script Bronze inscriptions Chu Slip and silk script Small seal script
㝵-bronze-shang.svg 得-oracle.svg 得-bronze.svg 㝵-silk-2.svg 得-seal.svg
Characters in the same phonetic series (得) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
得 *tɯːɡ
淂 *tɯːɡ
棏 *dɯːɡ, *rtɯːɡ

Ideogrammic compound (會意). The ancient form of 得 is 㝵, composed of 貝 (“cowry”) + 又 (“hand”) — to pick up a cowry > to obtain valuables. A component 彳 was sometimes added to show that the cowry was picked up on the road.

In the Qin Bamboo and Slip script:

  • a horizontal line was add to the 又, which means it is replaced with the related 寸. This is a feature of Qin script, and many characters which used to compound with 又 now compound with 寸.

In the Shuowen seal script:

  • the 貝 corrupts into something resembling 見. However, this should be an error of Shouwen, because it only can be only found in Shouwen rather historical Qin Seal script and Qin Bamboo and Slip script.

In the clerical script:

  • the 貝 simplified as 目 (“eye”), such simplification can be seen in its early form like Spring and Autumn and Warring States bronze inscriptions and Chu Bamboo an Silk script as well as other characters such as 具. Then it corrupts into 旦 (“dawn”) in later clerical script, and Regular script inherited it.

Etymology[edit]

Pulleyblank (1991) relates it to Tibetan ཐུབ (thub, “to be able to; to withstand”).

This etymology is incomplete. You can help Wiktionary by elaborating on the origins of this term.

    • When it is used between a verb and the complement, and the complement is used to indicate possibility or capacity, the negative form replaces 得 with 不 (bù).
      If there is no complement, or if the complement describes the result or the extent of the verb, the negative form has 得不 in the place of 得.
    • If it is used after a verb-object construction, the verb is repeated again as "verb-object-verb-得-complement".
      "Object-verb-得-complement" is also used.
