Historical forms of the character
Shang Western Zhou Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han) Liushutong (compiled in Ming)
Oracle bone script Bronze inscriptions Small seal script Transcribed ancient scripts

The upper component 𦉶 is attested independently in Shang oracle bone script, showing a large (“eye”) with a short hooked stroke. Jiang Yubin (蔣玉斌) identifies it as the original character for (“alone”), while Chen Jian (陳劍) and Guo Yongbing (郭永秉) read it as (“to gaze intently”), taking the non- portion as a figure leaning on a staff. Both words belong to a *dok family associated with focused vision and conspicuousness (cf. (“to illuminate”)). The form with added (“insect”) first appears in Western Zhou inscriptions for the Shu place name; Shuowen Jiezi reanalyzes it as a pictogram of a silkworm.
