Glyph origin

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

	Old Chinese

雇	*kʷaːs, *ɡʷaːʔ
顧	*kʷaːs
戽	*qʰʷaːʔ, *qʰʷaːs, *ɡʷaːʔ

昈	*ɡʷaːʔ
滬	*ɡʷaːʔ
簄	*ɡʷaːʔ
齭	*skʰraʔ, *sqʰraʔ
所	*sqʰraʔ

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *ɡʷaːʔ): semantic 水 (“water”) + phonetic 扈 (OC *ɡʷaːʔ).

Etymology

Probably a derivation from 互 (OC *ɡaːs, “intertwining”) (Schuessler, 2007). 扈 (OC *ɡʷaːʔ, “to stop; to prevent”) may be the same word (ibid.).
