===Glyph origin===
{{Han etym}}
{{liushu|ic}}: a pregnant woman ({{zh-l|*身}}, now written reversed as {{zh-l|*㐆}}) next to a hand grabbing a hammer or mallet (now written {{zh-l|*殳}}). However, in this character, the hand could be grabbing a needle for acupuncture.

The character is partly unclear, however the original meaning was either referred to pain and medical treatment and/or to "abundance, prosperity" in reference to the swollen abdomen.

===Etymology===
{{rfe|zh|Is {{och-l|殷|id=2}} related to {{och-l|鳦|}} & {{och-l|燕|id=2}}, both meaning "swallow"? Xie / Qi (契), the mythical ancestor of the Shang kings, was conceived after lady Jiandi (簡狄) swallowed the egg of the black bird (玄鳥) (e.g. in Shijing (詩經) - Shang Song (商頌) - Xuan Niao 玄鳥, Shiji (史書) Yin benji (殷本紀), etc. ), identified explicitly as 燕 (Lunheng 論衡, chapters 案書 Anshu & Qiguai 奇怪).}}

===Etymology===
{{ja-kanjitab|いん|yomi=kanon}}
The senses “Shang dynasty” and “prosperous” are from {{der|ja|ltc|sort=いん|-}} {{ltc-l|殷|id=1}}, corresponding to modern Mandarin ''yīn'' and Cantonese ''jan<sup>1</sup>''. The sense “rumbling” corresponds to modern Mandarin ''yǐn'' and Cantonese ''jan<sup>2</sup>''.

The ''[[漢音#Japanese|kan'on]]'' pronunciation, so likely a later borrowing.
