Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *kʰʷeː) : semantic 大 + phonetic 圭 (OC *kʷeː).
Originally, the phonetic component is not related to the concept of earth (土) since in its original form it represents a pair of ritual axes perhaps made of jade 士. Hence, the link to the concept of earth in this character either comes from folk etymology or its appearence in the Small Seal script.
