Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *kroːŋʔ, *ɡloːŋs) : semantic 氵 + phonetic 巷 (OC *ɡroːŋs).
Ideogrammic compound (會意) proposed as alternative: a harbor is a road by the water.
Etymology
Cognate with 江 (OC *kroːŋ, “river”). The southern dialectal word originally meant "small river/stream", which is still preserved in some Min languages. The irregular pronunciation in Mandarin (expected Mandarin reflex is *jiǎng) originated from southern dialects where velars have not palatalized.
