Where it comes from

甲骨文中原為象形漢字，古人將彩虹看做兩個頭的生物。

篆書中演變作形聲漢字（上古 *kroːŋs, *koːŋs, *ɡoːŋ）：意符 虫 (“昆蟲；生物”) + 聲符 工 (上古 *koːŋ) 。

可能非漢藏語系詞彙；對比原始瑤語 *kluŋᴬ (“彩虹”)、泰語 รุ้ง (rúng，“彩虹”)、壯語 duzdoengz (“彩虹”)、saidoengz (“彩虹”)（Schuessler, 2007）。

Benedict (1986)和Carr (1990)將其與龍 (上古 *b·roŋ, *mroːŋ)、紅 (上古 *ɡoːŋ)關聯起來。

釋義
