## Chinese
### Glyph origin

Historical forms of the character 面 :
| Shang | Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han) |
| Oracle bone script | Small seal script |
| | Old Chinese |
| 蝒 | *men |
| 緬 | *menʔ |
| 湎 | *menʔ |
| 愐 | *menʔ |
| 偭 | *menʔ, *mens |
| 勔 | *menʔ |
| 面 | *mens |
| 麵 | *meːns |
Pictogram (象形), A man’s face, with an eye exaggerated, derived from 𦣻. The horizontal stroke was added later. Unrelated to 自.
Etymology 2: Simplified from 麵 (elimination of 麥) as adopted by the Chinese Character Simplification Scheme (《漢字簡化方案》) in 1956.

### Etymology 1

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s-mjal (“face”); cognate with Mizo hmêl (“face”), Jingpho man (“face”). 偭 (OC *menʔ, “to turn; to violate”) is probably cognate (Wang, 1982), perhaps its endoactive (Schuessler, 2007).
