幻

Meanings

Etymology

Jiajie (假借), but of what is unclear: * Variant of 玄 (OC *ɡʷeːn) with an elongated stroke to distinguish (Ji Xusheng). * Abbreviation of 縣 (OC *ɡʷeːn, *ɡʷeːns) (He Linyi). Shuowen mistakes it for an inversion of 予 (OC *la, *laʔ) based on its seal script form. This misinterpretation has produced the variant form 𠄔 through liding (隸定). This variant is sometimes mistakenly presented as evidence of the character's origin in popular media.
