Chinese

trad. 嫁
simp. # 嫁

Glyph origin

Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *kraːs) : semantic 女 + phonetic 家 (OC *kraː).

Etymology

Exoactive of 家 (OC *kraː, “home, house”), with the addition of the denominal verbalisation suffix *-s in Old Chinese, meaning “to go to one's new home; to become married”. In the Baxter–Sagart system, an additional pronunciation is posited for the causative sense (“to make someone become married; to marry off”), formed with the prolific Old Chinese causative prefix *s-. Compare 娶.

Pronunciation
