Glyph origin

Characters in the same phonetic series (奧) (Zhengzhang, 2003)

	Old Chinese
襖	quːʔ, quːʔ
懊	quːʔ, quːɡs, *quɡ
燠	quːʔ, quːɡs, *quɡ
奧	*quːɡs
墺	quːɡs, quɡ
隩	quːɡs, quɡ
澳	quːɡs, quɡ
噢	quʔ, quɡ
薁	*quɡ
䉛	*quɡ

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *quːɡs, *quɡ): semantic 水 (“water”) + phonetic 奧 (OC *quːɡs)

Etymology

Schuessler (2007) considers the word as borrowed from Austroasiatic, comparing Vietnamese ao (“pond”) and Mon ဩ (“small bay”), but it is thought that the Vietnamese was borrowed by the Chinese, and that this is an areal word of unclear ultimate origin.
