Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *mu) : phonetic 敄 (OC *moʔ, *mos) + semantic 金 (“metal”).

Etymology

Possibly Austroasiatic; compare Mon ဒမှော် (həmok, “wide hat”) and Khmer មួក (muək) (Schuessler, 2007), both from Proto-Mon-Khmer *muuk ~ muək (“hat”).

Possibly related to 帽 (OC *muːɡs) (ibid.). See there for more.
