(Explanation from the entry for the simple form ​:) The simple-form character ​ (6 strokes) is an abbrev. of the full-form character 當 (13 strokes), keeping the top part ​, but replacing the bottom part with the form ​ (3 strokes); formerly also wr. ​𢑐.
    The Shuōwén Seal form of ​/當(​􂛢) dāng ‘relative property values’ combines ​(​􂛋) tián ‘fields/plots/parcels’, and ​(​􀋲) 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. ​, (SW:) 當: ​; (DYC:) ​]
    Note: ​ serves as the simple form of 當 and also of ​, cf. ​.
    Compare: ​(​􁏁) fù ‘rich/wealthy’; ​(​􀀜) fú ‘blessing’.
