Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *tkuːb): semantic 竹 (“bamboo”) + phonetic 合 (OC *kuːb, *ɡuːb). Originally, it was a variant of 荅, where the semantic component 艸 (grass) was later mistakenly replaced by 竹 (bamboo). It expresses the meaning of "to respond."

Etymology
Cognate with 對 (OC *tuːbs, “to respond”) (Schuessler, 2007), which is the exoactive of 答 (OC *tkuːb). Compare Tibetan འདེབས ('debs, “to cast; to send”) (Hill, 2019).
