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

Characters in the same phonetic series (算) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
纂 *ʔsloːnʔ

算 *sloːnʔ, *sloːns
匴 *sloːnʔ
篹 *sloːnʔ
篡 *sʰroːns
攥 *ʔsloːd

In current form, 竹 (“bamboo”) + 目 + 廾.

The 目 portion may have originally represented counting rods (or possibly an abacus, although the character is believed to predate its invention). Such rods were typically made from bamboo.

Etymology[edit]

It has been compared with Tibetan གཤོར (gshor, “to count, to measure, to weigh”) by Gong (1995).
