Initially a pictogram (象形) of a two-part cooking vessel. Later 虍 was added and the cooking vessel became 鬲, producing 鬳.

In the current form, an ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意) and phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *ŋan, *ŋranʔ, *ŋrans): phonetic 鬳 (OC *ŋans, “cooking vessel”) + semantic 瓦 (“earthenware”).
