From 王(玉 yù) ‘jade’ and 睘 huán phonetic; 睘 has been replaced by 不 in the simple form. The primitive meaning is ‘bracelet’, hence 玉 yù ‘jade’. Etymologically the same word as 还() huán ‘return’ (turn around, round trip).

The simple-form character 环 (8 strokes) is an abbrev. of the full-form character 環 (17 strokes), replacing the full-form component 睘 (13 strokes) with 不 (4 strokes).

The Shuōwén Seal form of 環(􀂃𤪹) huán ‘jade ring’ (璧) combines 王(玉 yù) ‘jade’, and 睘(􀤦瞏) huán ‘look around in fear’ (phonosemantic); later also wr. 镮/鐶 (metal ring).

In the simple form 环, the full-form component 睘 is abbrev. to a shape like 不 (rather like the last few strokes of 睘).
