Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *ɡ·rɯm, *ɡ·rɯms) : semantic 氵 (“water”) + phonetic 林 (OC *ɡ·rɯm).

Etymology 1

Related to 霖 (OC *ɡ·rɯm, “long rain”). Wang (1982) considers this cognate with 淫 (OC *lɯm, “to soak; to drench”). Also compare Hokkien 啉 (lim, “to drink”) and Teochew 啉 (lim1, “to drink”).
