Glyph origin

Historical forms of the character 胃
Western Zhou Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han) Liushutong (compiled in Ming)
Bronze inscriptions Small seal script Transcribed ancient scripts
Characters in the same phonetic series (胃) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
喟 *kʰruːds, *kʰruds
胃 *ɢuds
謂 *ɢuds
媦 *ɢuds
蝟 *ɢuds
渭 *ɢuds
煟 *ɢuds
緭 *ɢuds

According to Shuowen Jiezi, the 𡇒 character (note that this Unicode character has undergone libian simplification) atop 𦞅 is a pictogram (象形) of a stomach. While the bronze script form merely consisted of two concentric circles, an inner portion of the character was later added, namely a mutated form of the seal script character of 米 ("rice"), representing grains within the stomach (see also 鬯).

A 肉 component (modern radical form ⺼, not to be confused with the unrelated 月, a moon) was added to specialise the character. Upon transition to the clerical script form, the upper component was simplified to the unrelated 田, which however has a reference to rice and food.

The ancient form of the character can be seen within the lower component of 𦳊.
