Etymology[edit]
It is shaped like corn or wheat (similar to 禾), symbolizing the coming of the crops. Its ancient sound begins with "ml-". The meaning "come" was originally represented by 麥, adding a radical meaning "footprint" or "walk slowly". Their meanings have interchanged. M-remaining is 麥, l-remaining is 來.
