Etymology

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *preːwɢs): semantic 豸 (“beast; creature”) + phonetic 勺 (OC *pljewɢ, *bljewɢ). Pictogram (象形) in the oracle bone script. Exopassive derivative of 駁 (OC *praːwɢ, “piebald (horse)”), literally "the spotted one"; ultimately from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *prawk (“piebald; speckled”). (Schuessler, 2007; STEDT).
