Glyph origin

Characters in the same phonetic series (邕) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
郺 *qoːŋʔ, *qoŋ
齆 *qoːŋs
甕 *qoːŋs
罋 *qoːŋs, *qoŋ
雍 *qoŋ, *qoŋs
邕 *qoŋ
嗈 *qoŋ
灉 *qoŋ, *qoŋs
癰 *qoŋ
廱 *qoŋ
雝 *qoŋ
壅 *qoŋ, *qoŋʔ, *qoŋs
饔 *qoŋ
噰 *qoŋ
澭 *qoŋ
擁 *qoŋ, *qoŋʔ
臃 *qoŋ

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *qoːŋs) : phonetic 雍 (OC *qoŋ, *qoŋs) + semantic 瓦 (“earthenware”).

Etymology

Probably Sino-Tibetan (Unger, 1999; Schuessler, 2007; STEDT). STEDT reconstructs Proto-Sino-Tibetan *ʔəw-ŋ (“pot; vat; jar”) provisionally.

Within Chinese, compare 甌 (OC *qoː, “small bowl; small cup”), 碗 (OC *qoːnʔ, “bowl”), 罌 (OC *qreːŋ, “earthen jar”), 盎 (OC *qaːŋʔ, *qaːŋs, “earthen jar”), 癰 (OC *qoŋ, “carbuncle; ulcer”) (Wang, 1982; Schuessler, 2007; STEDT).

Also compare Tibetan གཞོང (gzhong, “basin; tub; bowl”), Lepcha ᰈᰨᰵᰕᰨ (joŋ-mo, “bucket, tub”), Proto-Loloish *ʔ-loŋ² (“pot”) (Unger, 1999).
