Glyph origin
| Characters in the same phonetic series (爻) (Zhengzhang, 2003) | |
|---|---|
| Old Chinese | |
| 崤 | *ɢaːw, *ɢraːw |
| 郩 | *qaːwʔ |
| 敎 | *kraːw, *kraːws |
| 較 | *kreːwɢs, *kreːwɢ |
| 肴 | *ɢraːw |
| 淆 | *ɢraːw |
| 倄 | *ɢraːw, *ɢʷɯːʔ |
| 爻 | *ɢraːw |
| 餚 | *ɢraːw |
| 殽 | *ɢraːw |
| 笅 | *ɢraːw |
| 駁 | *praːwɢ |
Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *ɢraːw) : phonetic 爻 (OC *ɢraːw) + semantic ⺼ (“meat”) – meat dishes. The character 爻 also has meaning of “cut, divided, sliced”, so connotations of “sliced meat, prepared meat”.
Current form resembles 乂 + 有 – the lower 乂 of 爻 has moved to the side and down.
