Glyph origin

Historical forms of the character
Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han)
Small seal script

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *qloːŋ): phonetic (OC *kloːŋ) + semantic (wings). Originally representing the meaning “feathers”, it was later loaned to mean “old man” and similar senses, by association with the semantic .

Etymology 1

Possibly Sino-Tibetan. Compare Mizo ung (to be old, elderly, aged; to be venerable, antique, ancient; to be of long standing, to be an old inhabitant, to be an old stager (v.; adj.)) (Schuessler, 2007).

Baxter & Sagart (2017) included (OC *qˤoŋ) "old man" in the same word-family as (OC *C.qˤoŋ) "father, prince" and (OC *t-qoŋ) "husband's father".
