Chinese[edit]

Glyph origin[edit]

Characters in the same phonetic series (爪) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
抓 *ʔsruː, *ʔsruːʔ, *ʔsruːs
爪 *ʔsruːʔ
笊 *ʔsruːʔ, *ʔsruːs
找 *ʔsruːʔ

Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *ʔsruːʔ): semantic 扌 (“hand”) + phonetic 戈 (OC *koːl).

Originally a variant form of 划. Borrowed to mean a similar action.(Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)

The popular interpretation as a hand (扌) looking for a halberd (戈) is a mnemonic and not the origin of the character.

Etymology 1[edit]

simp. and trad.
 找
alternative forms 爪 “to seek”

Both “to seek” and “to give change” senses are attested since the Ming dynasty. The etymology is uncertain and it is unclear whether both senses are of the same origin. Compare 爪 (zhuǎ) and 抓 (zhuā).

Pronunciation[edit]

Note:
  • chāu/chǎu - vernacular;
  • cháu - literary.
  • Wu
  • Xiang
