Glyph origin

Phono-semantic compound (形聲形声, OC *luŋ) : semantic (cauldron) + phonetic (OC *l'uŋ, *l'uŋs).

Etymology

“Hot air; steam; heat” > “to melt” > “to blend”.

Sino-Tibetan; compare Burmese လောင် (laung, to burn; to be burnt; to scorch). Related to (OC *l'uŋ, *l'uŋs, “hot; hot air; hot weather”) (as in 蟲蟲 (OC *l'uŋ/l'uŋs l'uŋ/l'uŋs)), (OC *l'uːŋ, *l'uŋ, “hot weather”) and possibly the word family of *lVm: (OC *loms, “fire”).

It belongs to a word family comprising characters meaning “to melt, to smelt, to fuse, to dissolve”. In modern times the various characters have taken on their specialised meanings:

  • (OC *luŋ, “to melt (at normal temperature); to blend”)
  • (OC *loŋ, “to smelt; to melt (at a high temperature)”)
  • (OC *loŋ, “to smelt; to melt (at a high temperature)”)
  • (OC *loŋ, *loŋʔ, “to dissolve (in a liquid)”)
