Etymology

Ideogram (指事): a mouth (口) with word or breath (一) coming out. Compare 言, in which a small stroke on top of a bifurcated tongue (舌) is also used to represent words; see also 四 and 只. Unrelated to 甘. Cognate with 話 (OC *ɡroːds) according to Sagart (1999); if so, it is from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *grwas (“to speak; word”), whence Tibetan གྲོས་སྡུར་བྱེད་པ (gros sdur byed pa, “to consult; to discuss”) (STEDT).
