Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *djɯn, *ɦljɯn) : semantic 日 (“sun”) + phonetic 辰 (OC *djɯn). Originally written as 辰 alone; 辰 now refers primarily to one of the twelve earthly branches.

Etymology

Endopassive of 震 (OC *tjɯn, “to shake”) and 振 (OC *tjɯn, *tjɯns, “to excite”), from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *dar ~ d(u/i)r (“to tremble; to shiver”), literally "to stir oneself" > "when life begins to stir" > "early morning" (Schuessler, 2007).
