Etimologija

The Old Chinese words for "chopsticks" were 箸 (OC *das) and 梜 (OC *keːb). 箸 is preserved in almost all Min dialects (Taiwanese tī, tū; Fuzhou dê̤ṳ) and some other dialects, especially those in some contact with Min; it is also preserved in loans to other languages, e.g.

(deprecated template usage) [etyl] Korejski

젓가락 (jeotgarak), Vijetnamski đũa and Zhuang dawh. Starting from the Ming Dynasty, the change to 筷子 occurred in Mandarin, Wu and some Cantonese dialects. The 15th century book Shuyuan Miscellanies (《菽園雜記》／《菽园杂记》) by Lu Rong (陸容／陆容) mentioned this change:

如舟行諱「住」……，以「箸」為「快兒」 [Classical Chinese, trad.]

---

如舟行讳「住」……，以「箸」为「快儿」 [Classical Chinese, simp.]

Rú zhōuháng huì “zhù”......, yǐ “zhù” wéi “kuàir” [Pinyin]

As the mariners feared 住 (“to stay”) […], they called 箸 (“chopsticks”) 快兒 (lit. "quick").

The bamboo radical (竹) was later added to 快 to form 筷.
