Glyph origin[edit]

Historical forms of the character 邊
Shang Western Zhou Warring States Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han)
Oracle bone script Bronze inscriptions Chu Slip and silk script Small seal script
邊-oracle.svg 邊-bronze.svg 邊-silk.svg 邊-seal.svg
Characters in the same phonetic series (臱) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
臱 *men
矏 *men, *meːn
櫋 *men
籩 *mpeːn
邊 *mpeːn

The oracle bone script form consisted of 自 and 丙. Note 自 was the original form of 鼻 (OC *blids), and 自 and 丙 (OC *pqraŋʔ) were likely the phonetic components of the character.

The bronze inscription of 邊 (OC *mpeːn) consisted of 辵, 自, 丙 and 方. 辵 (“to walk”) and 方 (“side”) were likely the semantic components of the character, while 自 (the original form of 鼻 (OC *blids)) and 丙 (OC *pqraŋʔ) were the phonetic components.

The small seal script form was 𨘢, with the lower right component the result of corruption of 方.

Etymology 1[edit]

Perhaps cognate with 偏 (OC *pʰen, *pʰens, “side; oblique”), 片 (OC *pʰeːns, “partial; one-sided”), 諞 (OC *ben, *brenʔ, *benʔ, “glib-tongued; insincere”) (Schuessler, 2007).
