Ideogrammic compound (會意) : A needle 䇂 (abbreviated to 立) going through a slave's eye. In ancient China, slaves were blinded. Compare 民.
It is also possible that it is a phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *doːŋ) : semantic 立 + phonetic 重 (OC *doŋ, *doŋʔ, *doŋs). The bottom component is unrelated to 里.
Original meaning was “boy servant”.
Etymology
- “child; servant boy; virgin; bare”
- Löffler (1966) compares it to Kukish dong (“boy”); see also Rengmitca tong-kléng' (“boy”), Areng thon-dén (“boy”) (Löffler, 1960). Schuessler (2007) also compares it to Hmong-Mien: White Hmong tub (“son”), Iu Mien dorn (“son”).
- “shaman”
- Norman and Mei (1976) proposed that the Min Chinese word for “shaman” (*-dəŋA), written as 童, is from an Austroasiatic substratum, cognate with Vietnamese đồng, Mon ဒံၚ် (tòŋ, “to dance while under daemonic possession; to proceed by leaps”), ဒေါၚ် (tòŋ, “shaman called in to organise kəlok dances”). This is rebutted in Sagart (2008), who cited the wide distribution of the sense “magician; sorcerer” in Chinese and the secondary meaning of 童 as “servant; messenger”, describing the resemblance between the Min and Austroasiatic terms as “undoubtedly fortuitous”.
