trad. 情 simp. # 情 2nd round simp. 𰑊 alternative forms 啨𢚏⿰忄𤯞⿰十青
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, *dzeŋ): semantic 心 (“heart”) + phonetic 青 (*tsʰˤeŋ).
Its meaning “feeling” prompts Benedict (1976) to connect it to Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s-niŋ (“heart; brain; mind”); while its other meaning “proper nature, situation” suggests cognacy to 生 (shēng, “to live, life”) (Boltz, 1976), though the initials of 情 (OC *dzeŋ) vs. 生 (OC *srêŋ) are difficult to reconcile (Schuessler, 2007) – not withstanding Zhengzhang (2003)’s reconstructions 情 (OC *zleŋ) vs. 生 (OC *sʰleːŋ).
情 (OC *dzeŋ) may be compared with 靜 (OC *dzeŋ;dzeŋh) and 靖 (OC *dzeŋʔ) (“still; settled; at peace”), as well as 清 (OC *tsʰeŋ) and 淨 (OC *dzeŋh;dzˤreŋ) (“clear; clean; unobscured”), perhaps reflecting a semantic field of clarity, settledness, and the manifestation of an actual or inherent state.
