憖 *ŋrɯns

麥 *mrɯːɡ

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *mrɯːɡ): phonetic 來 (OC *m·rɯːɡ) + semantic 夊 (“footprint pointing down; to walk slowly”); according to Xu Shen, its meaning is "wheat". 來 was the original character for “wheat”.

Several possible interpretations for the glyph:

  • This character is a differentiation from 來, which originally meant "wheat". It was then phonetically borrowed since the oracle bones to mean "to come". During the Warring States period, 麥 is attested and perhaps was coined specifically to mean "come". Eventually, since 來 lost its original meaning, this meaning shifted to 麥.
  • 夊 represents the ancient concept reported by Shuowen Jiezi that wheat came from the heavens (i.e., the Fertile Crescent).
  • 夊 represents growth of the wheat plant.

Etymology 1

[edit]
trad. 麥
simp. 麦*

Etymologically unrelated to 來 (OC *m·rɯːɡ, “to come”). Schuessler (2007) suggests it is from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *m‑rə(k) (“buckwheat”) and cognate with Tibetan བྲ་བོ (bra bo, “buckwheat”); also compare Proto-Lolo-Burmese *g-ra² (“buckwheat”). STEDT compares 麥 (OC *mrɯːɡ, “wheat”) to Proto-Tibeto-Burman *bra (“buckwheat”) (provisional).

Starostin (2009), on the other hand, compares this to Proto-Tungusic *murgi (“barley”), Middle Korean 밇 (milh, “wheat”), Old Japanese 麦 (mugi1, “wheat; barley”).
