Glyph origin

Characters in the same phonetic series (展) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 

	Old Chinese
碾	*ndenʔ, *ndens
輾	*ndens, *tenʔ
展	*tenʔ, *tens
搌	*tenʔ, *tens, *tʰenʔ

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *tenʔ, *tens) : semantic 尸 + abbreviated phonetic 𧝑 (), which has a variant 𧝣; the original version is 㞡. The phonetic component is a reference to fine red silk clothes, one of the six garments worn by the queen in the Rites of Zhou, and it contains as well a reference to the concept of "opening, extending; watch carefully" in the component 㠭.

Similar but unrelated to 昔 and 共.

Etymology

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *r-dal (“spread; extend; develop”) (STEDT).
