Oracle bone script: Ideogrammic compound (會意) : 宀 (“house”) + 皿 (“food or wine vessel”) + 丂 (“table (?)”) – contentment. The 心 (“heart”) component was added in bronze inscriptions to yield 寧, and the 丂 component was sometimes omitted to yield 寍.

Shuowen: Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *neːŋ) : phonetic 寍 (OC *neːŋ) + semantic 丂 (“speech (?)”).

Note that the simplified form 宁 (zhù) is also a traditional character on its own.
