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

In the oracle bone script, an ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意): 人 (“person”) + 𰴿 (“bamboo mat”) – a person resting on a mat. Sometimes a house (宀) was added.

Later the pictogram of the bamboo mat became 㐁 or 𠀬, and eventually came to be written 百.

Contrast 寒.

Etymology

“To stay overnight; lodge > night; mansion of the zodiac [i.e. the Sun's lodging stations]”
Probably related to Austroasiatic: cf. Old Khmer *ruk (“to take cover or shelter”) > Khmer ជ្រុក (cruk, “shelter; refuge”), Khmer ស្រុក (srok, “settlement; village”) (Schuessler, 2007). Benedict (1972) relates it to the Tibeto-Burman terms listed in the etymology of 夜 (OC *laːɡs, “night”), however the phonetics is difficult to reconcile in the current reconstructions.
