Glyph origin
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *hljaɡs) and ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意) : phonetic 石 (OC *djaɡ, “stone”) + semantic 火 (“fire”). In the small seal script 石 has corrupted into ⿸广廿. Shuowen Jiezi interprets it as ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意) : 广 (“roof”) + 炗 (“light”).
Compare 度 (OC *daːɡs, *daːɡ) and 席 (OC *ljaːɡ).
