Glyph origin[edit]

Characters in the same phonetic series (馬) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
馬 *mraːʔ
碼 *mraːʔ
罵 *mraːʔ, *mraːs
鷌 *mraːʔ
鰢 *mraːʔ
瑪 *mraːʔ
榪 *mraːs
傌 *mraːs
禡 *mraːs
媽 *maːʔ

Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *mraːʔ) : semantic 石 (“stone; rock”) + phonetic 馬 (OC *mraːʔ).

Etymology[edit]

Before Qing dynasty, the character was used in word 碼瑙／码瑙 (Yupian) and 碼頭／码头 (mǎtou) (Stories to Awaken the World), both originally written with 馬／马 (mǎ).

“gambling chip”, “chip for counting” (> “number”), “classifier for things”
Appears in Qing dynasty, also originally written with 馬／马 (mǎ). See 馬／马 (mǎ) for more.
“yard”
Used in 《英吉利国舆情记略》 (1834), probably a derivation of "counting chip" sense which is used for translating English yard.
“kilometer per hour”
Probably a corruption of 邁／迈 (mài) (mile > mile per hour > kilometer per hour).
“pixelization”
Short for 馬賽克／马赛克 (mǎsàikè).
“to reply to a post for reading it later”
From English mark.
