Etymology
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *sraŋ): semantic 女 (“woman”) + phonetic 霜 (OC *sraŋ). Zhang (2000) relates it to 喪 (OC *smaːŋ, “mourning; funeral”), 喪 (OC *smaːŋs, “to lose”) and 霜 (OC *sraŋ, “frost (which causes loss)”). However, Schuessler (2007) considers these three words etymologically unrelated.
