粲 (Kangxi radical 119, 米+7, 13 strokes, cangjie input 卜水火木 (YEFD), four-corner 27904, composition ⿱𣦼米)
Phono-semantic compound (形聲/形声, OC *sʰaːns) : phonetic 𣦼 () + semantic 米 (“rice”).
From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *g-sal (“clear, bright, pleasant”) (Unger, 1990; Schuessler, 2007; STEDT). Cognate with Tibetan སལ་བ། (sal ba, “clear, distinct, bright”).
Benedict, 1972 compares this with Tibetan མཚར་བ (mtshar ba, “bright, shining, beautiful”) yet this isn't preferrable consider Middle Chinese *tsʰ- corresponds to Written Tibetan gs-.
Same word as 燦 (OC *sʰaːns)
