Glyph origin

Historical forms of the character 旅
Shang	Western Zhou	Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han)	Liushutong (compiled in Ming)
Oracle bone script	Bronze inscriptions	Small seal script	Transcribed ancient scripts

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

	Old Chinese
玈	*raː
旅	*ɡ·raʔ
膂	*ɡ·raʔ
祣	*raʔ

Ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意): 㫃 (“flag”) + 从 (“together”) – brigade. Hence, the original version is 𣃨.

The top component of the character is unrelated to 每, 伤, 复, 乞 as well as 人.

Etymology

anything lined up in a regular fashion > one after another > line up in a row, set forth; troops, multitude

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *g-ra-t (“bone”) (STEDT, Schuessler, 2007)

guest, stranger, lodging

Unrelated to sense ‘arrange in a series, etc.’ but from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *d-gra (“stranger, enemy”) (STEDT; Bodman, 1980; Schuessler, 2007; Hill, 2019), whence also Tibetan དགྲ (dgra, “enemy”); Schuessler additionally thinks this may belong to a larger group which includes 格 (OC *klaːɡ, *kraːɡ, “to go, to come”). See also Burmese ရန် (ran, “quarrel, strife”), whence also the first syllable of English Yangon.
