Etymology

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *djeŋ, *djeŋs): phonetic 成 (OC *djeŋ) + semantic 皿. Cognate with 成 (OC *djeŋ, “to complete”), 城 (OC *djeŋ, “city wall; city”) (Schuessler, 2007). See 成 for more. Pronunciation 2 is the exopassive of pronunciation 1, literally meaning "to be filled". (Ibid.)
