The Shuōwén Seal form of 等 děng ‘arrange bamboo strips’ combines 竹 (zhú) ‘bamboo’, and 寺 sì ‘court/palace official’.
Note: 等 děng ‘arrange bamboo strips/records’ → ‘order/classify’ → ‘of a class, equal’.
Note: Karlgren reconstructed OC 寺 dzi̯əg ‘hall; eunuch’, and 等 təg/təng ‘classify’ (GSR).
The meaning of 等 děng has been extended from “class, rank” to “await one's turn, according to rank” —Karlgren(AD).
Compare: 戥 děng ‘small scale/steelyard; to weigh’, formerly wr. 等 (cf. weight/wait).
