Glyph origin
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *kʰreːn, *kʰreːŋ) : semantic 羊 (“sheep, goat”) + phonetic 巠 (OC *keːŋ) ― a kind of sheep or goat.
For the sense “hydroxy” in organic chemistry, the glyph is a blend of 氫 (“hydrogen”) and 氧 (“oxygen”), using the phonetic components of both characters (巠 and 羊).
Etymology 1
The pronunciation is a blend of 氫／氢 (qīng, “hydrogen”) and 氧 (yǎng, “oxygen”).
