trad. しゅう

しゅうしゅう
to encircle, to circle, to surround, everywhere, curve (in the road)
Unclear. Possibly connected with Tibetan གཅུ་བ (gcu ba) ~ ལྕུ་བ (lcu ba, screw), གཅུད་བ (gcud ba) ~ ལྕུབ་བ (lcub ba, turn, twist, plait, braid), or Thai ดิ้ว (dîu, club, stick; strips of rattan or bamboo bent in a circle to which ribs of a cage are fastened) or Khmer ជួត (cuət, to wind; to wrap around; to wear a turban) (Schuessler, 2007)
to help
Unclear. Maybe same word as しゅう (zhōu, “to surround”) as words for "help, aid" often derive from the notion "next to, or around, a person" (for analogies, (OC *ʔsaːls, “to assist < to be on one's left-side”) from ひだり (OC *ʔsaːlʔ, “left”) and たすく (OC *ɢʷɯs, “to assist < to be on one's right-side”) from みぎ (OC *ɢʷɯʔ)) (Schuessler, 2007).
Alternatively, note Khmer ជួយ (cuəy, to help, assist; to support; to rescue, save) (ibid.). Even so, also note Thai ช่วย (chûai), which in turn is from Middle Chinese すけ (MC dzrjoH)); if Khmer ជួយ (cuəy) and Thai ช่วย (chûai) were related, then Khmer ជួយ (cuəy) cannot be related to Old Chinese しゅう (OC *tjɯw).
dynasty's name
Attested in the Huayuanzhang East Oracle Bone Inscription HYZ 327.1 (transliterated and translated by Schwartz, 2019[1])
しゅういれ [Pre-Classical Chinese]  ―  Zhōu rù sì [Pinyin]  ―  Zhou contributes four
A しゅうかたしろ (Zhōufāng bó, “Elder of Zhou region”), likely King Wen of Zhou, was mentioned in Oracle Bone Inscriptions H11:82 and H11:84 (Lin, 1995)[2]
Hargett (2021)[3] states that しょう (Shāng) and しゅう (Zhōu) derived from names of "places that the rulers and people of those eras regarded as their homeland or cultic centers"; the しゅうかた (Zhōufāng, “Zhou region”) was among "areas or regions along the frontier borders of Shang, traditionally regarded as enemy territory".

Usage notes

[edit]

Chu is the original Hán-Việt reading of this character and related ones according to Thiều Chửu. However, naming taboos for Nguyễn Phúc Chu (ぶく) led to the reading Châu being used instead for this character, especially in the south of Vietnam, based on a tradition of u/âu sound swaps. Currently, both readings are in use. [6]
