Glyph origin

[edit]
Historical forms of the character まる
Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han) Liushutong (compiled in Ming)
Small seal script Transcribed ancient scripts


References:

Mostly from Richard Sears' Chinese Etymology site (authorisation),
which in turn draws data from various collections of ancient forms of Chinese characters, including:

  • Shuowen Jiezi (small seal),
  • Jinwen Bian (bronze inscriptions),
  • Liushutong (Liushutong characters) and
  • Yinxu Jiaguwen Bian (oracle bone script).

Ideogram (指事しじ) , differentiated form of (OC *qonʔ), which was originally the same character.

Shuowen suggests that it is an ideogram (指事しじ) from flipped (“to tilt”) – something that can be tilted and turned; something round.

Unrelated to the right component of characters like and , which comes from (a kneeling person with stretched arms to indicate "to hold").
