===Glyph origin===
{{Han etyl}}
{{liushu|i}}: a man with a painted or tattooed chest – original form of {{m-lite|zh|sc=Hani|紋}}. The tattoo was usually a cross, a V shape or a stylized heart. In current form, tattoo has vanished, so simply an outline of a man (head, outstretched arms, legs, chest) similar to [[立]]. Compare {{m-lite|zh|sc=Hani|大}}, which has no chest.

Unrelated to the Kangxi radicals [[齐]] and [[攵]].

===Etymology===
Possibly a derivation, with ''-n'' nominal suffix, of {{m|och|煤}} "soot (obs.), ink (obs.), coal" ({{zh-ref|Schuessler, 2007}}).

Semantic shift: "pattern, tattoo (made of soot)", "written glyph (made of ink)" > "literature" > "refined, cultured" ({{zh-ref|Schuessler, 2007}}).
