Glyph origin

Characters in the same phonetic series (孝) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 

	Old Chinese
酵	*kruːs
窙	*qʰruː
哮	*qʰruː, *qʰruːs
庨	*qʰruː
涍	*qʰruː, *qʰruːs
孝	*qʰruːs

Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *kruːs) : semantic 酉 + phonetic 孝 (OC *qʰruːs) – fermenting in a vessel, making alcoholic drink. 孝 is composed of “young + old”, hence connotations of “aging (in a vase), fermentation”.
