Phono-semantic compound (形聲/形声, OC *ɢuns) : semantic 辵 (“motion”) + phonetic 軍 (OC *kun).
Etymology
STEDT relates it to Proto-Sino-Tibetan *wal (“round; circular”), which is also connected to the following:
- 圓 (OC *ɢon, “round”)
- 圜 (OC *ɡʷraːn, “round”)
- 旋 (OC *sɢʷans, “to revolve; to return”)
- 環 (OC *ɡʷraːn, “ring”)
- 還 (OC *ɡʷraːn, “to return”)
- 院 (OC *ɦŋons, “courtyard”).
暈 (OC *ɢuns, “halo”) is the same word (Schuessler, 2007). It is possibly related to 雲 (OC *ɢun, “cloud”) (ibid.).
Additionally, Karlgren (1933) relates it to 圍 (OC *ɢʷɯl, “to surround”), and Wang (1982) to 回 (OC *ɡuːl, “to return”).
