Etymology

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *ɡa, *ɡal, *kraːl): semantic 艹 (“grass; plant”) + phonetic 加 (OC *kraːl). Attested very rarely and late, earliest in the 59 BCE "Slave's Contract" (《僮約》) by Wang Bao (王褒) (Wang et al., 2008): * Alves (2022) relates this to Proto-Vietic *gaː (whence Vietnamese cà), which he considers an early Chinese loanword.
