Etymology

[edit]

Its meaning "feeling" prompts Benedict (1976) to connect it to Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s-niŋ (“heart; brain; mind”); while its other meaning "proper nature, situation" suggests cognacy to 生 (shēng, “to live, life”) (Boltz, 1976), though the initials of 情 (OC *dzeŋ) vs. 生 (OC *srêŋ) are difficult to reconcile (Schuessler, 2007) – not withstanding Zhengzhang (2003)'s reconstructions 情 (OC *zleŋ) vs. 生 (OC *sʰleːŋ).
