Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *ɦljud) and ideogrammic compound (會意／会意) : semantic 禾 (“grain”) + phonetic 朮 (OC *l'ud, *ɦljud, “glutinous millet”). Originally written 朮 (not to be confused with 术).

Area word (Schuessler, 2007); compare:

• Proto-Hmong-Mien *mblut (“glutinous; sticky”) (Sagart, 1999; Schuessler, 2007; Ratliff, 2010; Baxter and Sagart, 2014);
• Proto-Austronesian *-lit (“caulk; adhesive material”) > Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *bulit (“glue; paste; stick; caulk”) (Ratliff, 2010);
• Proto-Austronesian *puluC (“Caesar weed, a mucilaginous plant”), Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *pulut (“birdlime, sticky sap of breadfruit, etc.”) (Sagart, 1993; Ratliff, 2018).

Sagart and Baxter (2010) posit that the *m- in their Old Chinese reconstruction, based on the Hmong-Mien evidence, may be a reduced form of 米 (OC *(C.)mˤ[e]jʔ, “millet or rice grains, dehusked and polished”).
