Oracle bone script: Pictogram (象形) – a person (大) with dots above and below the arms, depicting will o' the wisp around a human body.

In the bronze script, feet (舛) were added to the bottom. In the small seal script, 舛 is graphically detached from the corpse with the dots, which corrupts into the unrelated 炎; Shuowen erroneously interprets it as an ideogrammic compound (會意／会意) : 炎 (“fire; flame”) + 舛 (“feet”). In the regular script, the top further corrupts into the unrelated 米.
