Glyph origin
Characters in the same phonetic series (粲) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
餐 *sʰaːn
湌 *sʰaːn
粲 *sʰaːns
燦 *sʰaːns
璨 *sʰaːns
薒 *sʰaːns
殩 *sʰoːns

Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *sʰaːns) : phonetic 𣦼 () + semantic 米 (“rice”).

Etymology 1

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *g-sal (“clear, bright, pleasant”) (Unger, 1990; Schuessler, 2007; STEDT). Cognate with Tibetan སལ་བ། (sal ba, “clear, distinct, bright”).

Benedict, 1972 compares this with Tibetan མཚར་བ (mtshar ba, “bright, shining, beautiful”) yet this isn't preferrable consider Middle Chinese *tsʰ- corresponds to Written Tibetan gs-.

Same word as 燦 (OC *sʰaːns)
