Glyph origin

Characters in the same phonetic series (埶) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 

	Old Chinese
褹	*ŋr'eːds, *ŋeds
勢	*hŋjeds
藝	*ŋeds
囈	*ŋeds
埶	*ŋeds
蓺	*ŋeds
槸	*ŋeds

暬	*sŋed
熱	*ŋjed
槷	*ŋeːd

Ideogrammic compound (會意／会意) : 坴 + 丮 (“to hold”) – to plant.

The 圥 in 坴, the left part of the character, was the result of corruption of 木. 丸, the right part of the character, evolved from 丮 (“to hold”). The original character depicted a kneeling person planting a sapling (木) into the soil (土). 埶 is the original character of 蓺 and 藝.

The character 埶 (OC *ŋeds) was also often phonetically borrowed to represent another character 勢 (OC *hŋjeds).
