Etymology
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *m·ruʔ): semantic 木 + phonetic 卯 (OC *mruːʔ) in oracle bone script and bronze inscriptions. Later 桺 (semantic 木 + phonetic 丣 (OC *luʔ)) in small seal script. The glyph finally turned back to 木 (mù) + 卯 (mǎo) in the current form. Smith (2011) reconstructs *[m-]ruʔ, with volitional or agentic prefix *m- (see Sagart, 1999) and root verb 流 (OC r(j)u) "to flow", resulting in *m-ruu "(cause to flow >) pour out, empty". If unprefixed, 柳 means "the flowing one"; if prefixed, "the pouring one". Recall English weeping willow.
