Glyph origin
Characters in the same phonetic series (廷) (Zhengzhang, 2003)

Etymology 1
| simp. and trad. |
挺 | |
|---|---|---|
| alternative forms | 𡈼 ancient | |
From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *(p/b)ljaŋ (“straight; straighten”) (STEDT; Schuessler, 2003, 2007).
The intensifier usage “quite; very” is most likely a grammaticalized usage from “outstanding; prominent” (Liu, 2008; Yang, 2021). Alternatively, it may be from Manchu ᡨᡝᠨ (ten, “extreme”) (Aixinjueluo, 1993).
