Glyph origin
Characters in the same phonetic series (巨) (Zhengzhang, 2003)
Pictogram (象形) – a carpenter's square; the original form of 矩 (OC *kʷaʔ). Borrowed phonetically for the sense "enormous".
Etymology 1
From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *wa (“large, wide, distant”). Insides Sinitic, 巨 (OC *gwaʔ ?) is possibly related to 迂 (OC *wa, “to enlarge, increase”) and perhaps 況 (OC *hwaŋh, “to increase, increasingly, how much more, moreover”); outsides Sinitic, cognate with Mizo vak (“with force, very hard, much, exceedingly, in large number / quantities, (open mouth) wide”).
