Glyph origin
Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *ŋrɯŋ, *ŋrɯŋs) : semantic 冫 (“ice”) + phonetic 疑 (OC *ŋɯ)
Etymology 1
Possibly related to 冰 (OC *p.rəŋ, “ice”) (Baxter & Sagart, 2014); if so, also related to 凌 (OC *əŋ ~ p.rəŋ, “ice”) and from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *r-p(w)am (“to freeze; snow”) (provisionally reconstructed) (STEDT); other comparanda are 雱 (OC *pʰˁaŋ) "heavy snowfall", and 霙 (OC *ʔraŋ) "sleet, snowflake".
