Etymology: Characters in the same phonetic series (必) (Zhengzhang, 2003) Likely a pictogram (象形) – weapon handle made of bamboo strips; the original character for 柲 (OC *priɡs, *bliːɡ, *priɡ, *bliɡ). The character was phonetically borrowed for the senses of "certainly" and "must". Unrelated to 心, as bronze script makes clear, but in current form very similar. Unclear (Schuessler, 2007).
