| | Old Chinese |
| 餐 | *sʰaːn |
| 湌 | *sʰaːn |
| 粲 | *sʰaːns |
| 燦 | *sʰaːns |
| 璨 | *sʰaːns |
| 薒 | *sʰaːns |
| 殩 | *sʰoːns |
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *sʰaːn) : phonetic 𣦼 + semantic 食 (“to eat; meal; food”). Its original meaning was "to swallow".

### Etymology

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *m-dz(j)a-k/n/t/s (“to eat; food; to feed; rice”), whence Tibetan ཟ (za, “to eat”); probably also related to 咀 (OC *ʔsaʔ, *zaʔ, “to chew”) (STEDT; Benedict, 1972; Schuessler, 2007).
Alternatively, it may be compared to Tibetan འཚལ ('tshal, “to eat”), ཚལ་མ (tshal ma, “breakfast”) (Coblin, 1986; Schuessler, 2007; Hill, 2019).
