===Glyph origin===
{{Han etym}}
{{Han compound|牛|寺|c1=s|c2=p|t1=ox|ls=psc}} – large bull.

===Etymology===
There seem to be two main semantic fields: "bull" and "single; unique". It is unclear whether these two fields are related. {{zh-ref|Schuessler (2007)}} suggests a possible derivation of "bull" from "match", but "bull" seems to be the earlier sense. The "single; unique" sense could be an extension of "bull" due to its largeness ({{zh-ref|Li Xueqin, 2012}}).

In the "bull" sense, it is related to {{och-l|犆|ox}} ({{zh-ref|Schuessler, 2007}}).

{{zh-ref|Wang (1982)}} relates the "three-year-animal" sense to {{och-l|犢|calf}}; see there for more.

In the "single" sense, it is related to {{och-l|直|simply; only}}, {{och-l|職|simply; only}} ({{zh-ref|Schuessler, 2007}}). {{zh-ref|Wang (1982)}} relates it to {{och-l|徒}} and {{och-l|但|id=2}} in the "only" sense, as well as {{och-l|獨|single}} in the "single" sense, but see these entries for more.
