Etymology
Pictogram (象形) – some kind of container. Borrowed phonetically for the plant name. Displaced Old Chinese 菽 (shū). Unrelated to the bottom part of 豊. Derived from 頭 (OC *doː), ultimately from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *du (“head”) (STEDT). "Soybean > bean" is possibly the same word as "round vessel" (Unger, 1984)
