The Shuōwén Seal form of 發 fā ‘shoot/emit’ combines ​ gōng ‘bow (archery)’ with ​ bá ‘tread/trample’ (phonetic); ​ may be phonosemantic (‘tread on’: use the feet to draw a crossbow; cf. ​). Old variant forms: ​𤼲/​𤼵/​/​𤼦.
    The simple form ​ is an abbreviation of ​ fà ‘hair’, also used to write 發 fā ‘shoot/emit’ (​ and 發 were old homophones; cf. ​).
    Compare: ​ gòu ‘drawn bow’; ​ dēng ‘climb’; ​𤼩(​) guǐ ‘(Heavenly Stem)’.
