### Glyph origin

| | Old Chinese |
| 耶 | *laː |
| 椰 | *laː |
| 爺 | *laː |
| 瑘 | *laː |
| 鎁 | *laː |
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *laː): semantic 木 (“tree”) + phonetic 耶 (OC *laː).

### Etymology

Attested as early as the Jin dynasty (晉朝). Compare earlier form 楈枒 (OC *sŋa/sŋaʔ ŋraː/ŋraːs), 胥邪 (OC *sŋa/sŋaʔ ljaː/laː), 胥餘 (OC *sŋa/sŋaʔ la) (attested since Han dynasty).
* This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “時珍曰︰按稽含《南方草木狀》云︰相傳林邑王與越王有怨，使刺客乘其醉，取其首，懸於樹，化為椰子，其核猶有兩眼，故俗謂之越王頭，而其漿猶如酒也。此說雖謬，而俗傳以為口實。南人稱其君長為爺，則椰名蓋取於爺義也。相如《上林賦》作胥余，或作胥耶。”
