Glyph originEdit

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

	Old Chinese
漶	*ɡoːns
贃	*qroːns
患	*ɡroːns
槵	*ɡroːns

Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *ɡroːns): phonetic 串 (OC *kroːns, *kʰjons) + semantic 心 (“heart”).

Since Shuowen does not have the character 串, it interprets the character as phonetic 吅 (OC *qʰon, *sqʰon, *sɢoŋs) + semantic 丨 + semantic 心 (“heart”) – to pierce through something from the heart. Duan Yucai claims in his commentary that older copies of Shuowen actually have phonetic 毌 (OC *koːn, *koːns, “to pierce through”) + semantic 心 (“heart”) instead.
