Glyph origin
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声): semantic ⺼ (“meat”) + phonetic 利. Specialization of 利 (“benefit; profit”).
Etymology
From 利 (“benefit; profit”), used as a euphemism for 舌 (“tongue”), which is homophonous to 折, 蝕 / 蚀 (“to be at a loss”).
Alternatively, it may be from 舐 (OC *ɦljeʔ, “to lick”), preserving the Old Chinese initial *l- (Schuessler, 2007).
