Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *mrɯːɡ) : phonetic 來 (OC *m·rɯːɡ) + semantic 夊 (“foot; to walk slowly”). 來 was the original character for “wheat”. Several possible interpretations:

  • This character originally meant “to come”. Because the simpler 來 was commonly used for this (borrowed) sense, its original meaning (“wheat”) switched with 麥.
  • 夊 represents the ancient concept that wheat came from the heavens.
  • 夊 represents growth of the wheat plant.
