Translingual

Etymology

The etymology is ambiguous. The traditional etymology is: Ideogrammic compound (CSS3): 日 (“sun”) + 月 (“moon”), which is what the modern form suggests. However, some older forms of the character have a more complex form, and show a moon shining through a window – the development is not as simple as the current form suggests.(朙?)^FITML
