In the bronze inscriptions, an ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意) : 眉 + 頁 (“person with prominent head”) + 止 (“foot”) + 舟 (“shoe or (shoe-shaped) boat”). Possibly 履 (OC *riʔ) is also phono-semantic (形聲 / 形声) with phonetic component 眉 (OC *mril).
According to Shuowen, ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意) : 尸 + 彳 (“road”) + 夊 (“foot”) + 舟 (“(shoe-shaped) boat”). Possibly phono-semantic (形聲 / 形声) , with 尸 (OC *hli) functioning as a phonetic component corrupted from 眉 (OC *mril). Comparing Qin bamboo slip script, Shuowen seal's 舟 was corrupted from 自, and Qin's 自 was simplified from 頁.
Modern form is a compound of 尸 + 復 (“return”).
