Originally a pictogram (象形) – an oven. 虍 and 皿 were added in the bronze inscriptions, and the oven pictogram came to be written 田, making the current form a phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *b·raː) : phonetic 虍(OC *qʰaː) + semantic 田(“pictogram of an oven”) + semantic 皿(“vessel”). This sense (“oven”) is now represented by the character 爐／炉 (lú).
