Glyph origin

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

	Old Chinese
氾	*pʰoms, *bom
犯	*bomʔ
範	*bomʔ
范	*bomʔ
笵	*bomʔ

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *bomʔ): semantic 車 (“carriage”) + abbreviated phonetic 笵 (OC *bomʔ).

Etymology

Compare perhaps Burmese ပုံ (pum, “shape, form, figure”) (Luce, 1981); the Burmese form is connected by Schuessler, 2007 to 凡 (OC *bom, “general, worldly”).
