了

Glyph origin
According to the, a of a baby without arms. Compare with, where the arms are visible. The Shuowen defines 了 as "the crossing of lower legs".

In the, it is said that the pictogram instead depicts entangled legs.

Its relation with the meaning "to finish" is likely via sound loan, but an argument can be made about "entangled legs" → "tie"→ "finish"

Etymology 1
Verb “to finish; to be completed” > perfective aspect particle (了₁, weakened form) > change-of-state modal particle (了₂). It eventually replaced classical.

Two kinds of particle uses of 了 can be distinguished: the perfective aspect particle after verbs (conventionally written as 了₁) and the sentence-final modal particle (了₂). It is generally accepted that these two uses of 了 are derived from the concrete verb “to finish”. The grammaticalisation of this verb had become common in the Tang Dynasty, initially in the form of ‹verb + (object) + perfective 了› to indicate the completion of an action.

The perfective particle subsequently underwent further grammaticalisation to become the sentence-final change-of-state modal particle; has demonstrated that this last step may have involved the coalescence of sentence-final 了 with  in certain Mandarin dialects, as the pronunciations of 了₁ and 了₂ are distinct in these dialects, with 了₂ rhyming with 也.

Contrary to the suggestion in, this word is not related to , due to the non-existent correspondence between any given phonemes. 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬 are loans from Chinese.

Usage notes

 * Most of the time, 了 is translated by a past tense. But it can also indicate that one action is completed before another.
 * When used as the change of state particle, 了 can be translated by “now”, “already” or “not anymore”.
 * In a question, 了 is put before the particle.
 * : In Shanghainese, this term is primarily used to indicate the present tense and secondarily the perfective aspect. The present tense sense is derived from Old Shanghainese . For the usage difference between other perfectives, see 脫了.
 * : is often colloquially pronounced as  in all instances.

Etymology 2
is often considered to be the original character ; Taiwan's Ministry of Education considers the cognate to be the original character. In either case, this would be the same word as etymology 1.

Alternatively, argues that this is a  substrate, suggesting a borrowing from 🇨🇬, whence 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬. Note that the 🇨🇬 word has been connected to 🇨🇬. On the other hand, considers both the 🇨🇬 word and the 🇨🇬 word to be derived from.

Assuming to be the etymon, there are also various theories on the development of the h- initial:
 * Fricativization of the initial in 🇨🇬, possibly originating in the Chu dialect ;
 * (Quanzhou) → (other varieties) (Taiwan's Ministry of Education).
 * (Quanzhou) → (other varieties) (Taiwan's Ministry of Education).

considers to be a problematic etymon but agrees with the third theory on the development of h- above. He suggests that a possible trigger for the change from to  is that  is often used with , allowing  to be reanalysed as. This etymology was also independently proposed by.

Etymology 3

It could thus be reanalyzed an emphatic form of the *l- series of first-person pronouns, similar to compared to  in the *ŋ- series.

Etymology 4
Either by analogy with, or more likely from ,. Originally used in theater, and recorded in US in 1870s. Either originally used as mash, or a backformation from, from. Leland writes of the etymology:
 * It was introduced by the well-known gypsy family of actors, C., among whom Romany was habitually spoken. The word “masher” or “mash” means in that tongue to allure, delude, or entice. It was doubtless much aided in its popularity by its quasi-identity with the English word. But there can be no doubt as to the gypsy origin of “mash” as used on the stage. I am indebted for this information to the late well-known impresario [Albert Marshall] Palmer of New York, and I made a note of it years before the term had become at all popular.
