Historical forms of the character
Warring States Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han)
Bronze inscriptions Small seal script Vulgar character

Etymology 1

simp. and trad.
alternative forms

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *r-p(w)am (to freeze; snow) (provisionally reconstructed). Compare Proto-Tani *pam (snow), Japhug jpɣom (to freeze), tɤjpɣom (ice), and perhaps Tangut 𘒓 (*par¹, to congeal) (STEDT; Schuessler, 2007; Zhang, Jacques, and Lai, 2019; Jacques, 2014).

Within Chinese, (OC *rɯŋ, “ice”) and possibly (OC *ŋrɯŋ, “to congeal”) are usually considered cognates (STEDT; Zhengzhang, 2003; Schuessler, 2007; Baxter and Sagart, 2014). However, they are phonologically difficult to reconcile with the Tibeto-Burman cognates above (cf. Schuessler, 2007).

STEDT also includes (OC *pʰaːŋ, “heavy (snowfall)”) and (OC *qraŋ, “snowflake”) in the Chinese comparandum of Proto-Sino-Tibetan *r-p(w)am.

Alternatively, this may be related to Old Khmer ប្រិង៑ (to harden; to solidify), from រិង៑ (to dry up), although the meanings are difficult to reconcile (Schuessler, 2007).
