Glyph origin[edit]

Characters in the same phonetic series (蟲) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
痋 *l'uːŋ
鉵 *l'uːŋ
赨 *l'uːŋ
爞 *l'uːŋ, *l'uŋ
蟲 *l'uŋ, *l'uŋs
融 *luŋ
瀜 *luŋ

Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *luŋ): semantic 鬲 (“cauldron”) + phonetic 蟲 (OC *l'uŋ, *l'uŋs).

Etymology[edit]

“Hot air; steam; heat” > “to melt” > “to blend”.

Sino-Tibetan; compare Burmese လောင် (laung, “to burn; to be burnt; to scorch”). Related to 蟲 (OC *l'uŋ, *l'uŋs, “hot; hot air; hot weather”) (as in 蟲蟲), 爞 (OC *l'uːŋ, *l'uŋ, “hot weather”) and possibly the word family of *lVm: 焰 (OC *loms, “fire”).

It belongs to a word family comprised of characters meaning “to melt, to smelt, to fuse, to dissolve”. In modern times the various characters have taken on their specialised meanings:

  • 融 (OC *luŋ, “to melt (at normal temperature); to blend”)
  • 鎔 (OC *loŋ, “to smelt; to melt (at a high temperature)”)
  • 熔 (OC *loŋ, “to smelt; to melt (at a high temperature)”)
  • 溶 (OC *loŋ, *loŋʔ, “to dissolve (in a liquid)”)

Pronunciation[edit]

  • hṳ̀ng - colloquial;
