Ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意): 山 (“mountain”) + 高 (“tall”).

Reasoning that 嵩 and 崧 (sōng) are the same word and the latter's phonetic 松 (OC *sɢloŋ) suggests the medial *-l-, Schuessler (2007) minimally reconstructs Old Chinese pronunciation *suŋ < *sluŋ, proposes that it was from Austroasiatic and compares it to Proto-Mon-Khmer *sluŋ ~ *sluuŋ (“high”). However, note Baxter & Sagart (2014)'s reconstructions 嵩 ~ 崧 (OC *[s]uŋ), & 松 (OC *sə.ɢoŋ) without medial *-l-.
