Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *l̥ʰaːŋ, *l̥ʰaːŋs, *hljaŋ) : semantic 氵 (“water”) + phonetic 昜 (OC *laŋ).
Etymology
From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *r-la(w)ŋ (“steam; hot (liquid)”); compare Tibetan རླངས (rlangs, “steam, vapour; steamy”) (Bodman, 1980; STEDT).
Related to 盪 (OC *l̥ʰaːŋ, *l̥ʰaːŋs, *l'aːŋʔ, “basin for holding hot water for washing; wash basin”), 煬 (OC *laŋ, *laŋs, “to heat; to roast”) (Wang, 1982; Schuessler, 2007).
