Etymology 1

simp. and trad.
variant forms

Likely cognate with Hakka 𤸁 (khioi, “tired”).

The etymology is uncertain. This character itself is often regarded as the etymological character (本字), but the expected Cantonese reflex from the fanqie found in Jiyun (集韻) would be gwai3 instead of gui6. In recent years, this character has overtaken as the usual way this word is written, probably because of its appearance on the show 每日一字 in the 1980s.

The following are other etymologies that have been proposed:

  • Bai (1980) suggests (“tired”) as the etymological character. This character has been rejected by Yan (2000) for being a late word.
  • Yan (2000) suggests (“to sleep”) as the etymological character: *gljiois (Old Chinese, based on Zhengzhang, 1987) > *gljioi > *gioi > *kioi > *koi > *kui (Guangzhou), *kɔi (Yangjiang).
