Etymology
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *kuːd): phonetic 冎 + semantic 肉. 冎 is the original pictogram for this character; 肉 was added later to distinguish. Usually related to Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s/m/g-rus (“bone”), whence Tibetan རུས (rus), Nuosu ꃷꅍ (vup ddu), S'gaw Karen တၢ်ဃံ (ta̱xee), but there is no trace of a medial *r in Chinese (Schuessler, 2007). Alternatively, Luce (1981) compares Burmese ခုတ် (hkut, “to chop, hew”), which appears phonetically much closer, as well as semantically reasonable, if animal bones were interpreted as "hewed pieces".
