Glyph origin
Phono-semantic compound (形聲/形声, OC *rɯʔ) : semantic 玉 (“jade”) + phonetic 里 (OC *rɯʔ).
According to Shuowen Jiezi, the character meant “to polish jade”. The current meaning “to order, tidy up” may be derived from it.
Etymology
- "to cut jade, to mark out (field boundaries)"
- From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *b-rəj (“draw, mark, boundary”) (STEDT; Schuessler, 2007); cognate with Apatani a-rí (“boundary”), Mizo ri (“boundary, frontier, border”), Drung bri (“to write”), Mru pri (“to scratch”), Tibetan འབྲི ('bri, “to write”), Burmese ရေး (re:, “to write”) & စာရေး (care:, “to write, clerk”). Schuessler glossed its fundamental meaning as "cut in a regular way, divide into equal sections".
- "to regulate"
- STEDT groups this sense "to cut jade, to mark out (field boundaries)"; Schuessler (2007) noted that 理 "to regulate" was often thought to be the same word as 理 "to divide into sections", as the former sense might be derived from the latter.
- "to administer"
- Probably related to 釐 (lí, “to regulate”) (Schuessler, 2007)
- "envoy, jail official, matchmaker"
- Related to 吏 (lì, “official”), 史 (shǐ, “scribe, historian”), and 使 (shì, “ambassador”)
- Possibly the same word as 理 "to administer".
