Glyph origin edit
Generally thought to be an ideogrammic compound (會意/会意) : 木 (“tree; wood”) + 攴 (“hand holding a stick”).
However, Zhengzhang (2003) considers it to be a phono-semantic compound (形聲/形声, OC *mɯːl) : semantic 木 (“wood”) + phonetic 文 (OC *mɯn), where 文 was later corrupted to 攴.
Etymology 1 edit
From Austroasiatic; compare Old Khmer mek (“branch; bough”) (Schuessler, 2007).
