From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *m-dz(j)a-k/n/t/s (“to eat; food; to feed; rice”); cognate with Tibetan ཟ (za, “to eat”), Burmese စား (ca:, “to eat”), Chepang [script needed] (jeʔ-sa, “to eat”), Japhug ndza (“to eat”) (STEDT; Schuessler, 2007; Zhang, Jacques and Lai, 2019). Possibly related to 餐 (OC *sʰaːn, “to eat; meal”) (STEDT; Schuessler, 2007).

Etymology 2
| For pronunciation and definitions of 咀 – see 嘴 (“beak; mouth, especially the part of the face associated with the mouth; etc.”). (This character, 咀, is the former (1969–1976) Singaporean simplified, second-round simplified, and variant form of 嘴.) |

Usage notes
It is still commonly used as a shorthand. Xiandai Hanyu Guifan Cidian (《现代汉语规范词典》) proscribes the use of 咀 as the simplified form of 嘴 (zuǐ).
