Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *krɯm): semantic 王 (“upside-down axe”) + semantic 呂 (“two blocks of metal”) + phonetic 亼. 亼 is the ancient form for 今 (OC *krɯm).
Originally referred to copper. Later, the meaning was extended to metal as a whole, and then to gold.
Etymology[edit]
Starostin reconstructs Proto-Sino-Tibetan *gǝ̆m (“metal”); compare Tedim Chin xam (“gold”) and Lepcha [script needed] (kóm, “silver, coin, money”).
“Copper” [prior to 5th BCE] > “metals in general” > “gold”.
The main senses now are “gold” and “metal”.
