Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *sʰaːɡs, *sʰaːɡ): semantic 金 (“metal”) + phonetic 昔 (OC *sjaːɡ) – grindstone.

### Etymology
#### "whetstone, grindstone"

    From 磋 (OC *sʰlaːl, “to rub; to polish”) + suffix -k (Schuessler, 2007). Related to 厝 (OC *sʰaːɡs, *sʰaːɡ).

#### "criss-cross, interlocking, alternating, ornate"

    Related to 醋 (OC *sʰaːɡs), 胙 (OC *zaːɡs) and 祚 (OC *zaːɡs). Perhaps semantically extended to "mistake" (Schuessler, 2007).

#### "lake"

    Borrowed from Tibetan མཚོ (mtsho, “lake”).

#### "cerium"

    Borrowed from English cerium.
