Etymology 2
simp. and trad.
 田
variant forms 塍

The Min native word for “paddy field; field”.

Etymology unknown. The original word has been identified as 塍 (OC *ɦljɯŋ, “raised path between fields”), although Norman proposes that this is related to 層 (OC *zɯːŋ, “layer”), reflecting the terraced fields commonly found in Fujian (Schuessler, 2007). Compare also 㽪 (“wet field”).
