Glyph origin

Historical forms of the character
Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han)
Small seal script

Phono-semantic compound (形聲形声, OC *rteŋʔ, *teːŋʔ) : semantic (hand) + phonetic (OC *rteːŋ, *teːŋ).

Etymology 1

This word was pronounced *teŋ in Old Chinese, as would be expected from a (dīng) phonetic. By the early Ming period, the character had been borrowed for another word with the same meaning but a different pronunciation, without the nasal ending. This may be related to the previous reading, as a dialectal variant. In Mandarin and some other dialects, the new reading became standard; however, derivations of the older pronunciation are still used in some dialects (Wu, Min Nan), Japanese (chō (chō), tei (tei)) and Vietnamese (đánh).

Also compare Proto-Mon-Khmer *dah ~ daʔ (to hit, to meet), whence Mon ဒး (tɛ̀h, to hit (a mark), meet with, reach [goal], be correct, apposite, to fit) and Khmer ទះ (tĕəh, to slap, to strike).
