(Explanation from the entry for the simple form ​当:) The simple-form character ​当 (6 strokes) is an abbrev. of the full-form character 當 (13 strokes), keeping the top part ​⺌, but replacing the bottom part with the form ​彐 (3 strokes); formerly also wr. ​𢑐.
    The Shuōwén Seal form of ​当/當(​􂛢) dāng ‘relative property values’ combines ​田(​􂛋) tián ‘fields/plots/parcels’, and ​尚(​􀋲​尙) shàng ‘increase; still/almost’ (phonosemantic); at territorial boundaries neighbors lock horns, property boundaries vie against each other, property values are ever-increasing, as homes are built up higher and higher, my plot ought to be bigger than yours.
    “[當] The fundamental sense is ‘value’” —Karlgren(AD). [cf. ​值, (SW:) 當: ​田​相​值; (DYC:) ​田​与​田​相​持]
    Note: ​当 serves as the simple form of 當 and also of ​噹, cf. ​噹.
    Compare: ​富(​􁏁) fù ‘rich/wealthy’; ​福(​􀀜) fú ‘blessing’.
