Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *ɡruːb) : semantic 水 (“water”) + phonetic 合 (OC *kuːb, *ɡuːb).

Etymology

Causative of 合 (OC *kuːb, *ɡuːb, “to be together”) (Schuessler, 2007).

Alternatively, it may be related to Tibetan འགྲུབ ('grub, “to be accomplished”) (Schuessler, 2007).

This etymology is incomplete. You can help Wiktionary by elaborating on the origins of this term.
