畾 + 宜 – a pile.
Originally as 曡, with 晶 (jīng) on top. Shuowen commented that the shape change was promoted by emperor of the short-lived Xin Dynasty, who deemed the use of three "suns" (日) in this character too empowering - compared to three "fields" (田).
Etymology
From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *g/l-t(y)ap (“fold, layer, pile up, repeat”). Cognate with 摺 (OC *ruːb, *ʔljob, “to fold”), 褶 (OC *ʔljob, *l'ɯːb, *ljub, *ɦljub, “lined dress”), Tibetan ལྟབ (ltab, “to fold, gather up, to lay or put together”), ལྡེབ (ldeb, “to bend round or back, to turn round, to double down”), ལྡབ (ldab, “to fold up, repeat, do again”), Burmese ထပ် (htap, “to stack, layer”) and Burmese လိပ် (lip, “to fold up, to roll up”) (STEDT).
