Ideogram (指事) – a man with a mask () over his face. Possible interpretations:

  • Strange, bizarre — "uncommon".
  • Different face — "different".

Compare (“demon”), where the also derives from a face or a mask. Compare also , in which the top component represents either a mask or a monkey's face.

Alternatively, may be a pictogram (象形) of a person carrying something on his head, the original form of (“to carry on the head”).

Modern form is graphically + , though this is not the etymology.
