Where it comes from
形聲漢字（上古 *zɯːɡ）：聲符 則 (上古 *ʔsɯːɡ) + 意符 戈 (“武器”) 。
後被重新解釋為貝 + 戎，並得出現代字形。
可能是漢藏語系詞彙；對照藏語 ཇག (jag，“強盜”)（Coblin, 1986）。Schuessler (2007)指出藏語中的腭化輔音並不能對應漢語中的非腭化輔音，因此他將其與高棉語 ឆក់ (chɑk，“搶奪；偷竊”)對照。
可能與災 (上古 *ʔslɯː)同源（Schuessler, 2007）。
基於部分早期從漢語借入的詞形，如拉珈語 kjak⁸ (“強盜”)和哲語 kəcʌ́ːk (“強盜”)，Baxter and Sagart (2014)構擬出帶冠音 *k 的上古漢語形式。
