## Chinese
### Glyph origin

Historical forms of the character 農 :
| 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 |
| 嶩 | *nuː |
| 噥 | *rnuːŋ, *nuːŋ |
| 鬞 | *rnuːŋ, *noŋ |
| 擃 | *rnuːŋʔ |
| 齈 | *noːŋs |

| 醲 | *noŋ |
| 襛 | *noŋ, *njoŋ |
| 穠 | *noŋ, *njoŋ |
| 檂 | *noŋ |
In its current form, an ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意): 曲 + 辰 (“field”). Top unrelated to 曲, and previously two hands, one on either side of a bundle 田 – a farmer bringing goods to market, from the field 辰.

### Etymology

Probably Sino-Tibetan. Cognate with 耨 (OC *noːɡs, *nuːɡ, “hoe, rake; to weed”), possibly derived from it with the terminative suffix *-ŋ for action with a goal, i.e. "to get a field hoed" > "cultivated"; compare 亡 (OC *maŋ, “to disappear”) from 無 (OC *ma, “(there is) no”) (Schuessler, 2007).
Huang (2000), Norman (1983) and Zhou (1986) hypothesised that this is the same etymon as 儂 (OC *nuːŋ, “person, I, me”). See there for more.
