### Glyph origin

Historical forms of the character 攴 :
| Shang | Western Zhou | Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han) | Liushutong (compiled in Ming) |
| Oracle bone script | Bronze inscriptions | Small seal script | Transcribed ancient scripts |
| | Old Chinese |
| 仆 | *pʰoːɡs, *pʰus, *pʰoɡs, *bɯːɡ, *pʰoːɡ |
| 赴 | *pʰoɡs |
| 訃 | *pʰoɡs |
| 朴 | *pʰroːɡ |
| 圤 | *pʰroːɡ |
| 卜 | *poːɡ |
| 鳪 | *poːɡ |
| 扑 | *pʰoːɡ |
| 攴 | *pʰoːɡ, *pʰroːɡ |
Originally a pictogram (象形) or ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意): a hand (又) holding a tool of some sort (possibly a weapon or whip), meaning “to hit”. Also phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *pʰoːɡ, *pʰroːɡ): phonetic 卜 (OC *poːɡ) + semantic 又 (“hand”). Today, the character is mostly stylized except in some archaic variants.
Similar but unrelated to 支, 伊, and 父. The stylized version is unrelated to 囱 (> 窗) and 文.
