### Glyph origin

Historical forms of the character 畀 :
| Shang | Western Zhou | Liushutong (compiled in Ming) |
| Oracle bone script | Bronze inscriptions | Transcribed ancient scripts |
| | Old Chinese |
| 箅 | *piːds, *pids |
| 濞 | *pʰiːds, *pʰrids |
| 畀 | *pids |
| 痹 | *pids |
| 淠 | *pʰrids |
| 嚊 | *pʰrids |
| 鼻 | *blids |
| 襣 | *bids |
In the oracle bone script, it was a pictogram (象形) of an arrow with a flat arrowhead (cf. 矢, an arrow) – original character of 錍 (OC *pʰeː, *pe, “arrow with a flat arrowhead”).
In the bronze script, a dot was added to the centre, which later became a short line. The bottom of the glyph eventually corrupted into 廾 or 丌. On the basis of the latter shape, Shuowen erroneously interprets the character as a phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *pids) : phonetic 甶 (OC *pɯd) + semantic 丌 (“pedestal”).

### Etymology 1

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s-bəj-n/k (“to give”). Other cognates within the same Sinitic word family include 賓／宾 (bīn, “guest”), 嬪／嫔 (pín, “court lady, palace maid”), 殯／殡 (bìn, “laying a coffin”); outside of Sinitic, cognate with Tibetan སྦྱིན (sbyin, “to give, to bestow”), Burmese ပေး (pe:, “to give”) (STEDT).

##### Usage notes

* In Cantonese, when 畀 is used as a ditransitive verb meaning “to give”, the indirect object usually follows the direct object.
* In a passive-voice sentence in Cantonese, 畀 is always followed by an object and not a verb, unlike Mandarin 被 (bèi) which can be followed by an object or a verb. 人 (jan4) can be used as a dummy object when the doer is not specified.
