| − | + | The Shuōwén Seal form of 款(㱁) kuǎn ‘sincere/cordial intent/desire (to get/have/offer what one lacks/needs)’ combines 㝮() cuì ‘to drive out, exorcize/banish/exile’, abbrev. to just 祟() suì ‘evil spirit’, and 欠() qiàn ‘breathe/yawn; lack/desire/owe’ (as in 欠款 ‘owe money; debts’); formerly also wr. 歀(), and 窾/𡪡 (cf. 窾/款言 ‘empty words’); the sincere/cordial (already) have what they desire (are empty of impure motive); that which is empty has had its contents driven out, or given things away freely, and so may receive new contents/funds. | |
| − | + | Note: In the modern form 款, 士 (upper left) is an abbrev. of the top 出() of the old left-side component 祟(), as in 敖(𢾍), 卖/賣(𧷵). | |
| + | Note: In the SW gloss “意有所欲”, the character 意() suggests 款意 ‘sincerity (good faith, honesty, in business dealings)’; and 欲() ‘desire’ explains the use of 欠() in 款(㱁). | ||
| + | Note: Today mainly 款 kuǎn ‘funds/money’, but HDZ gives a surprisingly wide range of meanings; ‘sincere/cordial’ (charity/offerings to placate ghosts/visitors/strangers) is the unifying theme (款待). | ||
| + | Compare: 窜/竄() cuàn ‘hide/conceal (in a hole)’, formerly also wr. 𥨒/窾 cuàn; 𠭥() suì ‘name of a sacrifice; to divine’. | ||
