Pictogram (象形) – A hand holding a stone, referring to a man working with a stone axe.
Etymology
From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *p/ba (“male; father”).
Regular development from Middle Chinese would lead to the labiodental fù in Mandarin, but the colloquial word resisted the sound changes and is now written as 爸 (bà), with the 巴 (bā) phonetic component added to it to indicate the unchanged bilabial initial.
