Glyph origin [ edit ]
The current form likely derives from a phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声 , OC *sʰleːd ) : semantic 宀 + phonetic 䊪 / 𥸯 ( OC *m·raːds, *m·rads, *m·raːd) , as attested in the Western Han period. 宀 is later replaced with 穴 , and 萬 corrupts into 廿 and 禼 . Based on the corrupted form, Shuowen erroneously interprets this character as a phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声 , OC *sʰleːd ) : semantic 穴 ( “ cave; hole ” ) + semantic 米 ( “ rice ” ) + phonetic 廿 ( OC *zid) + phonetic 禼 ( OC *sed) . In the current form, 廿 is omitted and 米 is replaced with 釆 .
