Phono-semantic compound (形聲/形声, OC *koːn, *koːns) : phonetic 雚 (OC *koːns) + semantic 見 (“see”).
Etymology
“To watch; to observe” (Pronunciation 1) > “watchtower; platform; temple” (Pronunciation 2).
Schuessler (2007) connects it with 侯 (OC *ɡoː, “target”) and 候 (OC *ɡoːs, “to watch; to be on the lookout for; to wait”).
