==Chinese==
{{zh-forms|t2=旣|ss=旡}}

===Glyph origin===
{{Han etym}}
{{Han compound|皀|t1=bowl of rice|旡|t2=kneeling figure|ls=ic}} – person kneeling at bowl of rice – sitting down to eat (rice already finished cooking), turning away (already finished eating) or abstaining from eating or consuming. 

Note the stroke order in the right component 旡, which may not be clear in the compressed form of this character: the left vertical and second horizontal are one stroke with a corner, while the upper right vertical continues in a diagonal stroke to lower left.

===Etymology===
Maybe {{der|zh|sit}} ({{zh-ref|Schuessler, 2007}}). Exopassive (perfective) of {{zh-l|訖|to finish}}; possibly cognate to {{zh-l|暨|to reach}}, yet see there.

{{zh-ref|Löffler (1966)}} compares this to {{cog|mro|ki||complete}}.
