Unclear. Shuowen considers it to be an ideogrammic compound (會意/会意) : 甶 (“head of a ghost”) + 禸 (“to trample”) – a kind of monkey.
In the bronze script, the top of the character resembles the head of a ghost (鬼) and the bottom resembles 禹. Zhang et al. (1996) considers this character differentiated (分化) from 禹 and that the character is a pictogram (象形) of a kind of insect with a decorative mark, similar to the one in 萬 (“scorpion”).
Etymology 1
From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *ŋaːw (“monkey”); compare Proto-Kuki-Chin *ŋaaw (“long-tailed / grey monkey”), whence Mizo ngao (“grey monkey”) (Schuessler, 2007).
