Where it comes from

同聲符字 (巤) (鄭張尚芳 (2003))

形聲漢字（上古 *raːb）：意符虫 (“昆蟲”) + 聲符巤 (上古 *rab) 。

可能繼承自原始漢藏語 *s-krjap (“蟲子；螞蟻；胭脂蟲”)；與緬甸語 ချိပ် (hkyip，“紫膠”)、原始彝語 *C-gripᴸ (“紫膠；松樹”)、景頗語 krep (“臭蟲”)、原始基蘭特語支 *khrep (“蟲子；螞蟻”) 同源（Schuessler, 2007；STEDT）。

不過本字直到2-3世紀才出現，最早記載於東漢王符的《潛夫論》。所以也可能是借自原始越語 *k-raːp (“蠟”)（Ferlus, 2012；Jacques, 2016b）。
