Where it comes from

象形漢字或會意漢字：白 (“泉穴”) + 水 (“水”) – 水從泉穴流出。參見原。

Schuessler (2007)將上古漢語構擬為*dzwan，並同時構擬了原始藏緬語 *tso (“沸騰；煮沸”)（衍生出藏語 འཚོད་པ ('tshod pa，“被煮沸”)、藏語 བཙོས (btsos，“用沸水烹煮”)、緬甸語 ဆူ (hcu，“沸騰；冒泡”)），且認為泉 (上古 *sɡʷen, “水泉”)與之同源（帶有n-後綴的名詞化形式）。然而，STEDT認為上述三個藏緬語詞源自原始藏緬語 *tsjow (“煮沸；燃燒；烘烤”)，而焦 (上古 *ʔsew, “烘烤；燃燒；燒焦”)與該詞同源。
