Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *sʰloʔ, *sʰlos, *slo): phonetic 取 (OC *sʰloːʔ, *sʰloʔ) + semantic 女.

Exoactive of 取 (OC *sʰloːʔ, *sʰloʔ, “to take; to obtain; to collect; to fetch”) (Schuessler, 2007). Compare the etymology of 嫁.

In Hokkien, the vernacular reading is instead from 𤆬 (chhōa, “to lead; to guide”).
