說文解字 - Shuowen: 《金部》鉗以𨮯有所劫束也。从金甘聲。

康熙字典文字版 【戌集上】【金字部】鉗
【唐韻】巨淹切【集韻】【韻會】其淹切，𠀤音箝。【說文】以鐵有所刼束也。从金甘聲。【前漢·高帝紀】自髠鉗爲王家奴。【註】鉗，以鐵束頸也。【後漢·光武紀】弛解鉗衣。【註】倉頡篇曰：鉗，釱也。釱足鉗。又【五行志】廣漢鉗子謀攻牢。【師古註】鉗子，謂鉗徒也。【晉律】鉗重二斤，翹長一尺五寸。【集韻】或作鉆。　又銸也。【後漢·梁冀傳】妻孫壽，性鉗忌。【註】鉗，取也。言性忌害如鉗之能銸物也。　又【揚子·方言】惡也。南楚，凡人殘罵謂之鉗。　又【家語】無取鉗鉗。【註】鉗鉗，妄行不誠也。　又【呂氏春秋】後時者，小莖而麻長，短穗而厚糠小米，鉗而不香。　又澤名。【張衡·南都賦】其陂澤則有鉗盧玉池。　又姓。【正字通】唐元和中長令鉗耳。　又與拑通。【後漢·袁紹傳】道路以目，百辟鉗口。【註】以木銜其口也。或作拑。渠廉反。　又【集韻】其嚴切，音黔。義同。　又【集韻】五甘切，音玵。刃也。
考證：〔又鋷也。【後漢·梁冀傳】妻孫壽，性鉗忌。【註】鉗，取也。言性忌害如鉗之能鋷物也。〕　謹按漢書注鋷本作銸，音輒，又音聶，拔髮也。鋷音最，錐屬，與鉗物之義不同。今照原文鋷也改銸也。鋷物改銸物。
