===Glyph origin===
{{Han etym}}
The oracle bone forms and bronze inscriptions show the {{liushu|p|nocap=1}} of a [[cricket]] or a [[locust]], sometimes with a fire {{zh-l|*火}} glyph underneath. In its later form, became a {{Han compound|禾|𤒅|c1=s|c2=p|t1=grain|ls=psc|abb2=y}}. Often thought of as an {{Han compound|禾|t1=grain|火|t2=fire|ls=ic}}; after harvesting the grain, the fields are burned to kill locusts and their eggs.

===Etymology 1===
{{zh-forms|alt=*秌,𤇫,𥝛,𥡄,𥡌,𥤚,𥤛,𪺋,𥤠,𪔁,𪚼,𪛁,*龝}}
Unclear.

{{zh-ref|Schuessler (2007)}} minimally reconstructs {{cog|och|-}} *''tshiu'' < Proto-Chinese *''C-nh(i)u'' and proposes its cognacy to either:
* {{och-l|收|tr=*(n)hiu|to reap, harvest, gather}}; or
* {{och-l|卒|tr=*tsut|to finish, end, die}}, as vegetation dies in autumn; additionally in ''{{w|Zuozhuan}}'', this word's referent was winter's dead vegetation.

Alternatively, {{zh-ref|Sagart (2023b)}} relates {{och-l|秋|tr=*tsʰiw}} to {{och-l|揫|tr= *[dz]iw|to collect, bring together}}, whose {{cog|och|-}} reconstruction should possibly be amended to {{m|und|*m-tsʰiw}} or {{m|und|*m-tsiw}}.
