Old Chinese
村 *sʰuːn
忖 *sʰuːnʔ
刌 *sʰuːnʔ
寸 *sʰuːns

Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *sʰuːn) : semantic 木 (“tree”) + phonetic 寸 (OC *sʰuːns).

Origin unclear. Seems a late graph, not in Shuowen dictionary of ca.100AD. Ogawa treats it as variant of CO graph 杶 ‘lacquer tree’ which was used phonetically in the sense of‘village’ in place of another graph for ’village’, 邨, which may be taken provisionally as 阝 (邑)‘settlement, village’, and 屯 ‘accumulate, stay’ as semantic and phonetic.[1]

Etymology 1

Unknown. One theory suggests a contraction of 在処 (ari-ka, “whereabouts”), derived from 有り (ari, “to exist”). Might be related to 石村 (Ipare), possibly from 岩 (ipa, “rock”) + 村 (are).[1]

Noun

edit

村 (*are) (kana あれ)

Etymology 2

edit

No phonographic attestations exist. This reading is glossed to 村邑 in the Atsuda manuscript of the Nihon Shoki.

According to one theory, possibly borrowed from some dialect of Old Korean.[2] Compare Goguryeo 忽 (*xol, *kol, *kolo, *koro, “fortress”).

      [Banpa] took [items] from the children, and stole from the village.

Etymology 3

Possibly derived from Old Korean 須祇 (*suki).[3]
