Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *koːn, *kroːns): semantic (person) + phonetic (OC *koːn).

Etymology

Compare Proto-Sino-Tibetan *(g/k)(j)wal (STEDT); cognate with Tibetan ཁོལ་པོ (khol po, servant), Burmese ကျွန် (kywan, slave), Proto-Loloish *C-kywan¹ (slave), (OC *ɡʷraːns, “servant; official”).

(OC *koːn, “official”) is probably the same word as (OC *koːn, *kroːns) (Schuelsser, 2007).
