[edit] Etymology
In Japanese kyūjitai 禮, the unsimplified form of the radical is used, hence overall simplification is Simplified from 禮 (示 → 礻 and 豊 → 乚).
Compare more radical simplifications in Japanese kana れ and レ.
In current form, Phono-semantic compound (形聲): semantic 礻 (“altar”) + phonetic 乚 – performing rites at an altar.
