Glyph origin
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *tŋ̊ʰaːns): semantic 火 (“fire”) + abbreviated phonetic 岸 (OC *ŋɡaːns).
Etymology
From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *tarl (“charcoal; dust; ashes”). Cognate with Tibetan ཐལ་བ (thal ba, “ashes; dust; dirt”).
Derivative: 碳 (tàn, “carbon”).
- (ACG slang) -tan
- Borrowed from Japanese たん (tan). Also from the manga Binchō-tan, which features -tan suffix characters that are anthropomorphic representations of charcoal.
