Etymology

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *ɡrɯds, *kɯds, *krɯd): phonetic 既 (OC *kɯds) + semantic 旦 (“sunrise”). Maybe exopassive of 及 (jí) (Baxter 1992, apud Schuessler 2007). Schuessler considers relation to 迄 (qì, “to reach to”) and 既 (jì, “already”) less likely as the Middle Chinese vowels do not agree. Related to 訖/讫 (qì).
