Glyph origin edit

Historical forms of the character
Western Zhou
Bronze inscriptions

Phono-semantic compound (形聲形声, OC *m·ruʔ) : semantic + phonetic (OC *mruːʔ) in oracle bone script and bronze inscriptions.

Later (semantic + phonetic (OC *luʔ)) in small seal script.

The glyph finally turned back to () + (mǎo) in the current form.

Etymology edit

Smith (2011) reconstructs *[m-]ruʔ, with volitional or agentic prefix *m- (see Sagart, 1999) and root verb (OC r(j)u) "to flow", resulting in *m-ruu "(cause to flow >) pour out, empty". If unprefixed, means "the flowing one"; if prefixed, "the pouring one". Recall English weeping willow.
