Glyph origin

Historical forms of the character
Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han)
Small seal script

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *ɡreː, *ɡreː, *ɡreː): semantic (leather) + phonetic (OC *kʷeː) – leather shoes. Originally written as .

Originally, the phonetic component is not related to the concept of earth () since in its original form it represents a pair of ritual axes perhaps made of jade . Hence, the link to the concept of earth in this character either comes from folk etymology or its appearance in the Small Seal script.
