Glyph origin[edit]

Characters in the same phonetic series (圣) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
怪 *kruːds
恠 *krɯːs
圣 *kʰuːd

Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *kruːds): semantic 忄 + phonetic 圣 (OC *kʰuːd).

Etymology[edit]

怪 (OC *kwrêh; *kwêh) seemingly had the same OC rhyme as 傀 (OC *kûi); They may be variants (Schuessler, 2007).
