The Shuōwén Seal form of 證(​􀜗) zhèng ‘accuse/prove’ combines ​ yán ‘direct speech’, and ​(​􀑵) dēng ‘climb/ascend’ (phonosemantic): exalt oneself (above another), with proof of an accusation/assertion.
    Note: The simple form ​ of the full form 證 derives from an old form ​(​􀙦) zhèng ‘criticize/admonish/accuse’ (cf. ​/​), formerly also used for 證 zhèng ‘prove/verify’ (accusations must be proven true).
    Note: The full-form character 證 is simplified to either ⑴ ​ ‘prove’, or ⑵ ​ ‘disease’ (according to the meaning); cf. ​, ​.
    Compare: ​(​􀒓)/​(​􁙱) zhēng ‘evidence’; ​(​􀢗) zhèng ‘rectify/correct/rule’; ​(​􁎶𡧡) dìng ‘fixed/regular/stable’.
