The simple-form character 亲 (9 strokes) is an old character, re-used as an abbrev. of the full-form character 親 (in which it is a component), omitting the right-side full-form component 見 (7 strokes) rather than simplifying it (to 见).
Note: Formerly 亲 zhēn ‘hazel-nut tree’, the simple form 亲 lost that old meaning (today wr. 榛 zhēn ‘hazel’), and was re-used as an abbrev. of the full form 親 qīn ‘kin/family’.
The Shuōwén Seal form of 亲(𣓀𣐽) zhēn ‘hazel-nut tree’ combines 木 (mù) ‘tree’, and 辛(𨐌) xīn ‘hard/bitter’ (phonosemantic); later wr. 榛(), with 秦() qín (phonetic).
Note: The simple form 亲 (9 strokes) lost a stroke or two, compared to old forms such as 𣐽 (10 strokes) and 𣓀 (11 strokes); this is also true in its compounds 親/𧡿, and in some old inscr. forms.
The Shuōwén Seal form of 親(𧡿) qīn ‘kin/family’ combines 見() jiàn ‘see’ (the likeness), and 亲(𣓀𣐽) zhēn ‘hazel’ (phonosemantic); see the family likeness, like trees from the same hazel grove; formerly also wr. 儭/𠋆/𢾉.
Note: SW glosses 親(𧡿) qīn ‘kin/family’ with 至(𦤴𡉸𡉰) zhì ‘attain/arrive’ (到), explained as attaining one's land/place (homestead), where mother and father gather the family together with tender regard (DYC); cf. 室() shì ‘(inner) room’ (家室), 屋() wū ‘room/house’ (屋室 wūshì ‘house/residence’).
Compare: 新(𣂺) xīn ‘gather firewood; new’; 薪() xīn ‘firewood; salary’.
Compare: 觐/覲(𧢚) jìn ‘autumnal appearance at imperial court’.
