Glyph origin

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

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *hmaːŋ) : phonetic (OC *maŋ) + semantic (blood).

Etymology

Borrowed from Austroasiatic. Compare Proto-Mon-Khmer *ɟhaam ~ *ɟhiim (blood), whence Khmer ឈាម (chiəm, blood), Mon ဆီ (chim, blood), Proto-Bahnaric *bhaːm (blood), Proto-Katuic *ʔahaam (blood), Proto-Khmuic *maː₁m (blood). Chinese has final because initial and final m are mutually exclusive (Schuessler, 2003; Schuessler, 2007).

This word's rare occurrence in a traditional saying indicates that it is not part of the active vocabulary of OC, but a survival from a substrate language.
