Glyph origin

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

	Old Chinese
尊	*ʔsuːn
樽	*ʔsuːn
罇	*ʔsuːn
嶟	*ʔsuːn, *ʔsun
繜	*ʔsuːn
撙	*ʔsuːnʔ
噂	*ʔsuːnʔ
譐	*ʔsuːnʔ
僔	*ʔsuːnʔ
蹲	*zuːn
鱒	*zuːnʔ, *zuːns
鐏	*zuːns
遵	*ʔsun
鷷	*ʔsun, *zun
墫	*sʰun
竴	*sʰun

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *ʔsun): semantic 辵 (“walk”) + phonetic 尊 (OC *ʔsuːn). However, the phonetic component (offering a vessel of wine) conveys the concept of veneration and showing respect, which is linked to "follow; obey".
