Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *djɯ) : semantic 日 (“sun; day”) + phonetic 寺 (OC *ljɯs).

In ancient scripts, it had the form 旹, with 之 (OC *tjɯ) as the phonetic instead.

Etymology

From 之 (OC *tjɯ, “to go; to proceed”) + endopassive voicing + endoactive tone B (上聲), literally “that which is proceeding” (Schuessler, 2007).
