Phono-semantic compound (形聲/形声, OC *doŋ, *doŋʔ, *doŋs) and ideogrammic compound (會意/会意) : semantic 人 (“man”) + phonetic 東 (OC *toːŋ, “bag”) – a man carrying a bag. A glyph 土 (“earth”) was later added to show that the bag-carrying man is standing on the ground. From this composition (𡍺) is the current form. In the modern form, the man on top can be seen as 亻 (however, the upper part of the character is unrelated to 千).
Schuessler (2007) notes that the etymology is uncertain and compares the word to Burmese စုံ (cum, “to be sufficient; pair”), which STEDT puts under Proto-Sino-Tibetan *dzum ~ tsum (“pair”).

From Middle Chinese 重 (MC drjowngX); compare Mandarin 重 (zhòng):
From Middle Chinese 重 (MC drjowng); compare Mandarin 重 (chóng):
From native Japanese roots:
/pe/ → /ɸe/ → /he/. Presumably related with Goguryeo 別 (*peT).
/-pe/ → /-ɸe/ → /-we/ → /-e/. Cognate with 重 (he, “division”). The divergent phonological development is due to the non-null environment caused by being suffixed to the previous morpheme.
