Glyph origin
.

Etymology
Probably cognate with,. identifies the unknown preinitial *C in the reconstruction by with *s based on evidence from Old Vietnamese, and further posits that it is an instrumental noun derived by prefixation of *s- to the verb, which is itself a denominal derived from.

Alternatively, it may be derived from with the nominalising *k- prefix (apud Baxter, p.c.).

STEDT compares 鏡, 景 and 亮, among others, to 🇨🇬,.

This word is relatively late and is perhaps re-etymologized from the nearly identical earlier word, , which  treats as cognate. considers 鏡 to be an unrelated neologism replacing 鑑.
