Glyph origin

edit
Characters in the same phonetic series (冬) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
疼 *dɯːŋ, *duːŋ
冬 *tuːŋ
苳 *tuːŋ
笗 *tuːŋ
炵 *tʰuːŋ, *duːŋ
佟 *duːŋ
鼕 *duːŋ
鉖 *duːŋ
終 *tjuŋ
螽 *tjuŋ
鼨 *tjuŋ
柊 *tjuŋ
鴤 *tjuŋ
泈 *tjuŋ
蔠 *tjuŋ

Originally a pictogram (象形) , 夂 (definition 2) – the knot at the end of a cord. Later reformulated as a phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *tjuŋ) : semantic 糹 + phonetic 冬 (OC *tuːŋ).

Etymology

edit

Sino-Tibetan. Cognate with Chepang दोङःसा (doŋʔ‑, “to end; to cease”), Lai [script needed] (doŋ / doʔŋ, “to end”) (Schuessler, 2007).

Wang (1982) derives 冬 (OC *tuːŋ, “winter”) from this word.
