Where it comes from
會意漢字及形聲漢字（上古 *ɢʷɯʔ）：聲符 又 (上古 *ɢʷɯs，“手”) + 意符 ⺼ (“肉”) – 拿著肉的手，表示“擁有，持有，佔有”。手形後抽象成現在的寫法；對比右 (上古 *ɢʷɯʔ, *ɢʷɯs)。
亦可能是醢 (上古 *qʰɯːʔ, “肉醬”)的本字，其中也含有聲符又 (上古 *ɢʷɯs)。
《說文解字》等一些古代辭書錯誤解釋成形聲漢字（上古 *ɢʷɯʔ）：聲符 又 (上古 *ɢʷɯs) + 意符 月 ，《說文》釋“有”為“不宜有也”（“不應該有而有”），引《春秋傳》“日月有食之”。日月食在古代中國為不祥之兆，即“不應該有而有”的現象，月形構件被解作月食。
