Etymology

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *ʔslin): semantic 水 (“water”) + abbreviated phonetic 盡 (OC *ʔslinʔ, *zlinʔ). The phonetic component 𦘔 is, according to Ji Xusheng (2014), a simplified form of 盡. It further corrupted into 聿 in the clerical script. From 濟 (OC *ʔsliːls, “to ferry”) + nominal suffix *-n (Schuessler, 2007).
