Etymology

Ideogrammic compound (會意 /会意): 癶 (“left and right feet”) + 豆 (“pictogrammic of raised object; stepping stone”). The two hands at the bottom disappeared, but they are retained in the conservative variant 𤼷. From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *tVŋ (“top; to rise; to raise”) (STEDT). Cf. 陟 (OC *tɯɡ) (Wang, 1923) < *l-t(j)ak (“to ascend”).
