## Chinese
### Glyph origin

| | Old Chinese |
| 唁 | *ŋrans |
| 這 | *ŋrans |
| 言 | *ŋan |
| 琂 | *ŋan |
| 圁 | *ŋrɯn |
| 誾 | *ŋrɯn |
| 訔 | *ŋrɯn |
| 狺 | *ŋrɯn, *ŋɯn |
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *ŋrans): semantic 辶 (“walk”) + phonetic 言 (OC *ŋan).
The character was originally a verb meaning “to meet”, whose modern pronunciation is yàn. It was later borrowed for the proximal demonstrative “this/here”, by a confusion in medieval handwriting with 遮 (zhē, “this”).

### Etymology 1

First attested in the Tang dynasty; etymology unclear. Proposed etymologies:
* From 者 (OC *tjaːʔ, “one which”) (Lü, 1985). Wang (1990) notes that 者 always occurs after what is referred to, where as 這 always before.
    者 (OC *tjaːʔ, “one which”) > 者 (MC tsyaeX, “this (possessive case)”) > 者 (MC tsyaeX, “this (general demonstrative)”) > Mandarin 這 / 这 (zhè).
* From 之 (OC *tjɯ, “this; it”) (Wang, 1990). Norman (1988) notes that this derivation would be phonologically problematic.

## Korean
### Etymology 1

From Middle Chinese; compare Mandarin 這／这 (zhè).

#### Pronunciation

* (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA: [t͡ɕɘ(ː)]
* Phonetic hangul: [저(ː)]
** Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.

#### Hanja

這 (eumhun 이 저 (i jeo))
* hanja form of 저 (“this; that”) [affix]

##### Usage notes

* The original meaning is "this". In certain words, it has been conflated with native Korean 저 (jeo, “that”).

##### Compounds

* 저간 (這間, jeogan)
* 저반 (這般, jeoban)
* 저번 (這番, jeobeon)
* 저번주 (這番週, jeobeonju)
* 저저 (這這, jeojeo)

### Etymology 2

From Middle Chinese 這 (MC ngjenH).

#### Pronunciation

* (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA: [ɘ(ː)n]
* Phonetic hangul: [언(ː)]
** Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.

#### Hanja

這 (eumhun 맞을 언 (majeul eon))
* hanja form of 언 (“to greet”) [only in Chinese]

##### Usage notes

* Used only in the reading of Classical Chinese; no Korean word appears to use this hanja.

## Middle Korean
### Glyph origin

Simplified from 邊 (“edge”), used as hungaja for similarly pronounced ᄀᆞᆺ〯 (kǒs, “edge”).

### Noun

這 (kàs) (hangul 갓)
* idu form of 갓 (“kind, variety”)

#### Usage notes

* Probably only found as reduplicated 這這, idu spelling of the adverb 갓갓 (kàs-kàs, “of each kind”).

## Vietnamese
### Han character

這: Hán Nôm readings: giá, gió
