Etymology
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *sʰuːn): semantic 木 (“tree”) + phonetic 寸 (OC *sʰuːns). Origin unclear. Seems a late graph, not in Shuowen dictionary of ca.100AD. Ogawa treats it as variant of CO graph 杶 "lacquer tree" which was used phonetically in the sense of "village" in place of another graph for "village", 邨, which may be taken provisionally as 阝 "settlement, village", and 屯 "accumulate, stay" as semantic and phonetic.
