Historical forms of the character
Shang Western Zhou Warring States Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han) Liushutong (compiled in Ming)
Oracle bone script Bronze inscriptions Chu slip and silk script Small seal script Transcribed ancient scripts

Originally an ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意): (cereal) + (perhaps a bag or rope in this character) + (knife, blade), meaning "to cut the cereal plants, to harvest" (Ji Xusheng 季旭昇); the original shape is linked to the character 𥞥.

On bronze inscriptions, the character was stylized into (“bag stuffed with herbs”) + (“knife, blade”) and the original meaning evolved.
