Etymology 2
| trad. | 某 | |
|---|---|---|
| simp. # | 某 | |
| alternative forms | 姥 媒 厶 妻 | |
Tu (2018) suggests it is from 姥 (MC muX), which was ultimately derived from 母 (OC *mɯʔ, “mother”). The usage of 姥 (“old woman”) to refer to "wife" parallels that of 翁 (“old man”) to refer to "husband" in Min Nan.
