時計／时计 (shíjì)

Chinese: 時計／时计 (shíjì)

Korean: 시계 (sigye)

From Middle Chinese 土圭 (tʰuo^X kwei, literally “earth, clay + stack of clay tablets”, a kind of sundial used in the Zhou Dynasty).
The 土圭 spelling is the original form, with the kan'on reading of tokei. This has been largely superseded by the spelling 時計 in modern writing, which uses the 時 character as ateji (当て字). Alternatively, the kanji spelling could be interpreted as jukujikun (熟字訓), using the meanings of the characters as 時 (“time”) + 計 (“measurement”).
