Glyph origin edit
Phono-semantic compound (形聲/形声, OC *ɢʷɯs): semantic 亻 + phonetic 右 (OC *ɢʷɯʔ, *ɢʷɯs).
Etymology edit
Exoactive derivation of 右 (OC *ɢʷɯʔ, *ɢʷɯs, “right”).
“Right” and “left” are metaphors for “to assist” via the following semantic development: “left or right” > “to be on the left or right of a person” > “to assist, to help, to protect”.
Compare the derivation of 佐 (OC *ʔsaːls, “to assist; to help”) from 左 (OC *ʔsaːlʔ, *ʔsaːls, “left”).
