Etymology
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *proːwɢs, *poːwɢ, *proːwɢ): semantic 火 + phonetic 暴 (OC *boːwɢs, *boːɡ). However, the phonetic component originally meant "violence", hence it could add part of the meaning. A conservative variant is 𤒺; later it was stylized into 爆. Cognate with Burmese ပေါက် (pauk, “to explode, to burst”).
