Etymology 1

For pronunciation and definitions of 并 – see 並 (“to be side by side; to be in a row; simultaneously; at the same time; etc.”). (This character is the simplified form of 並).
Notes: Simplified Chinese is mainly used in Mainland China, Malaysia, and Singapore. Traditional Chinese is mainly used in Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan.

Etymology 2

Notes: Simplified Chinese is mainly used in Mainland China, Malaysia, and Singapore. Traditional Chinese is mainly used in Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan.

Usage notes

In ancient texts, 并 may be the same as 併 (OC *breːŋʔ, *breːŋs, *peŋʔ, *peŋs, *beːŋʔ), but not 並 (OC *beːŋʔ). 並 and 併 were differently pronounced in Old Chinese.
