Etymology
Ideogrammic compound (會意 /会意): 庚 (“threshing tools”) + 米 (“rice”) – chaff. The clearest version is 𢊪, in which the two components can be identified well; in the semi-conservative variant 𥹺, the rice at the bottom is still well visible. The derivative 糠 refers to the original word. Unrelated to 隶, in which the bottom part is a reference to a tail (毛); also unrelated to 水. ; quiet, calm, peaceful ; Kham ; "to look, to see"
