## Chinese
### Glyph origin

Historical forms of the character 發 :
| Shang | Spring and Autumn | Warring States | Warring States | Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han) |
| Oracle bone script | Bronze inscriptions | Chu slip and silk script | Qin slip script | Small seal script |
| | Old Chinese |
| 發 | *pad |
| 癹 | *pʰaːd, *baːd |
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *pad): semantic 弓 (“bow”) + phonetic 癹 (OC *pʰaːd, *baːd).

### Etymology 1

STEDT compares 發 (OC *pad) to Proto-Sino-Tibetan *m-p(r)ats (“to vomit”), whence Proto-Lolo-Burmese *C-pat (“to vomit”) (> Burmese ပစ် (pac, “to shoot, to throw, to eject”)) and Jingpho ǹ-phàt (“to vomit”).
According to Schuessler (2007), this is an area word; compare Proto-Vietic *ɓah (“to vomit”), Mon ပန် (“to shoot”).
A derivation is probably 廢 (OC *pads, “to cast aside”).
