Glyph origin edit

Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声) : semantic 艹 (“grass”) + phonetic 雍 (OC *qoŋ, *qoŋs).

Etymology 1 edit

From 壅 (OC *qoŋ, *qoŋʔ, *qoŋs, “to heap soil around the roots of a plant”) according to the Compendium of Materia Medica:

時珍曰：蕹與壅同。此菜惟以壅成，故謂之壅。 [Classical Chinese, trad.]
时珍曰：蕹与壅同。此菜惟以壅成，故谓之壅。 [Classical Chinese, simp.]

Shízhēn yuē: Wèng yǔ yōng tóng. Cǐ cài wéi yǐ yōng chéng, gù wèi zhī yōng. [Pinyin]

Shizhen said, 蕹 is the same as 壅. This vegetable can only grow by heaping soil around the roots, so it is called 壅.
