Etymology

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *ɡraːs): semantic 日 (“sun”) + phonetic 叚 (OC *kraːʔ) Pulleyblank (1973) suggests that it is cognate with 閒 (OC *ɡreːn, “idle, unoccupied, relaxed, etc.”). Sagart (2023b) relates it to 夏 (OC *[ɡ]ˤraʔ) "summer" and Burmese အား (a:, “to be free (not in use; without obligations)”).
