Historical forms of the character 射
Shang Western Zhou
Oracle bone script Bronze inscriptions
   
Characters in the same phonetic series (射) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
謝 *ljaːɡs
榭 *ljaːɡs
射 *ɢljaːɡs, *laːɡs, *ɢljaːɡ, *laːɡ
麝 *ɢljaːɡs, *ɢljaːɡ

In the oracle bone script, an ideogrammic compound (會意／会意) : 弓 (“bow”) + 矢 (“arrow”) – to shoot a bow. In the bronze inscriptions, a hand (又) drawing the bowstring was added. Hence, a conservative variant is 𢎤.

Later the bow and arrow on the left became 身 before or during the clerical script period, and the hand came to be written 寸.

Etymology

edit

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *g/b/m-la-j (“bow, arrow”); cognate with Tibetan མདའ (mda', “arrow”), Burmese မြား (mra:, “arrow”) (STEDT; Schuessler, 2007; Hill, 2013).
