Etymology 1
| trad. | 矣 | |
|---|---|---|
| simp. # | 矣 | |
| alternative forms | 𠤘 𢦕 𡗞 | |
Pulleyblank (1995) tentatively suggests a connection to adverb 已 (OC *lɯʔ, “already, perfective marker”), drawing a parallel with the 了₁ (perfective particle) and 了₂ (change of state modal particle) meanings of 了 (le), but doubts that they are etymologically related, suggesting the connection may be purely semantic and for aspectual functions.
