Etymology
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *luŋ): semantic 鬲 (“cauldron”) + phonetic 蟲 (OC *l'uŋ, *l'uŋs). “hot air; steam; heat” > “to melt” > “to blend”. Sino-Tibetan; compare Burmese လောင် (laung, “to burn; to be burnt; to scorch”). Related to 蟲 (OC *l'uŋ, *l'uŋs, “hot; hot air; hot weather”) (as in 蟲蟲 (OC *l'uŋ/l'uŋs l'uŋ/l'uŋs)), 爞 (OC *l'uːŋ, *l'uŋ, “hot weather”) and possibly the word family of *lVm: 焰 (OC *loms, “fire”). It belongs to a word family comprising characters meaning “to melt, to smelt, to fuse, to dissolve”. In modern times the various characters have taken on their specialised meanings: * 融 (OC *luŋ, “to melt (at normal temperature); to blend”) * 鎔 (OC *loŋ, “to smelt; to melt (at a high temperature)”) * 熔 (OC *loŋ, “to smelt; to melt (at a high temperature)”) * 溶 (OC *loŋ, *loŋʔ, “to dissolve (in a liquid)”)
