Historical forms of the character 旅
Shang	Western Zhou	Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han)	Liushutong (compiled in Ming)
Oracle bone script	Bronze inscriptions	Small seal script	Transcribed ancient scripts

Ideogrammic compound (會意／会意) : 㫃 (“flag”) + 从 (“together”) – brigade. Hence, the original version is 𣃨.

The top component of the character is unrelated to 每, 伤, 复, 乞 as well as 人.

anything lined up in a regular fashion > one after another > line up in a row, set forth; troops, multitude

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *g-ra-t (“bone”) (STEDT, Schuessler, 2007)

guest, stranger, lodging

Unrelated to sense ‘arrange in a series, etc.’ but from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *d-gra (“stranger, enemy”) (STEDT; Bodman, 1980; Schuessler, 2007; Hill, 2019), whence also Tibetan དགྲ (dgra, “enemy”); Schuessler additionally thinks this may belong to a larger group which includes 格 (OC *klaːɡ, *kraːɡ, “to go, to come”). See also Burmese ရန် (ran, “quarrel, strife”), whence also the first syllable of English Yangon.
