### Glyph origin

| | Old Chinese |
| 尊 | *ʔsuːn |
| 樽 | *ʔsuːn |
| 罇 | *ʔsuːn |
| 嶟 | *ʔsuːn, *ʔsun |
| 繜 | *ʔsuːn |
| 撙 | *ʔsuːnʔ |
| 噂 | *ʔsuːnʔ |
| 譐 | *ʔsuːnʔ |
| 僔 | *ʔsuːnʔ |
| 蹲 | *zuːn |
| 鱒 | *zuːnʔ, *zuːns |
| 鐏 | *zuːns |
| 遵 | *ʔsun |
| 鷷 | *ʔsun, *zun |
| 墫 | *sʰun |
| 竴 | *sʰun |
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *ʔsun): semantic 辵 (“walk”) + phonetic 尊 (OC *ʔsuːn). However, the phonetic component (offering a vessel of wine) conveys the concept of veneration and showing respect, which is linked to "follow; obey".
