Oracle bone script: Ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意): 宀 (“house”) + 工 (“two items”) + 廾 (“two hands”) – stuffing the house with items. Hence, the original version is 𡨄, a character similar but unrelated to 共 but partly related to 展.

Shuowen: Ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意): 𡨄 + 土 (“soil”); the bottom component was added later.
