Where it comes from

會意漢字：口 + 儿。

源自原始漢藏語 *maŋ (“大的；年長的（兄弟、叔伯）；年老的”)（Sagart, 1999；STEDT）。與孟 (上古 *mraːŋs, “大的；妾媵生的長子；第一”)有關。

Schuessler (2007)則認為與原始倮倮-緬甸語 *ʔwyik (“兄、姊”)有關，源自原始漢藏語 *ʔik (“哥哥，兄長”)。

而Benedict (1972)將本字與原始漢藏語 *bʷaŋ ~ *pʷaŋ (“叔伯；哥哥，兄長”)聯繫起來，而後者也可能與伯 (上古 *praːɡ, “叔伯；大哥，最年長的兄長”)有關。

釋義

同胞先出生的男性，哥哥。
同輩中比自己年紀大的男性堂兄
朋友間相互的敬稱。
Hokkien, 熟稱對比自己年長男性的尊稱，用於名字之後
