===Glyph origin===
{{Han etym}}
{{Han compound|戶|方|c1=s|c2=p|t1=door|ls=psc}}.

Also could be an {{Han compound|戶|方|t1=door|ls=ic|nocap=1}} (homonym of {{och-l|旁|gloss=side}}), as it originally referred to one of the two rooms beside the central room (side room).

===Etymology 1===
Etymology not certain. Probably {{der-lite|zh|sit}}; compare {{cog-lite|bo|བང་བ||storeroom; storehouse|sc=Tibt|tr=bang ba}}, {{cog-lite|my|ဝင်း||enclosure|sc=Mymr|tr=wang:}} ({{zh-ref|Bodman, 1980}}). Alternatively, compare {{cog-lite|bo|བྲང||house|sc=Tibt|tr=brang}} (as in {{m-lite|bo|ཕོ་བྲང||palace|sc=Tibt|tr=pho brang}} and {{m-lite|bo|བྲང་ཁང||dwelling house|sc=Tibt|tr=brang khang}}) ({{zh-ref|Schuessler, 2007}}).
