Historical forms of the character 櫂
Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han)
Small seal script

Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *r'eːwɢs) : semantic 木 + phonetic 翟 (OC *r'aːwɢ, *l'eːwɢ).

Earliest extant attestations are in Chu Ci.

Possibly from Austroasiatic. Compare Proto-Vietic *tʃ-r-ɛːw (whence Vietnamese chèo), an *-r- (instrumental derivative) infixed form of Vietnamese *tʃɛːw, whence Modern Vietnamese xeo (“to lift up with a crowbar; to propel (a boat) with a long pole”).
