Etymology
The reduced form of the character 鬻 (OC *luɡ), which was an ideogrammic compound and the original character for "congee". Related to 育 (OC *luɡ), 鬻 (OC *luɡ, “to nourish”) (Karlgren, 1956; Baxter and Sagart, 2014). Baxter and Sagart (1998) originally derive 粥 (OC *t-ljuk) from 育 (OC *ljuk), but later, Baxter and Sagart (2014) derive 粥 (OC *t-quk) from a root *quk (“to nourish”), which is related to 育 (OC *m-quk), as well as 畜 (OC *qʰuk, “to nourish”). Alternatively, it may be related to Tibetan ཐུག་པ (thug pa, “Tibetan-style soup, broth, gruel, porridge”) (Bodman, 1980; Schuessler, 2007).
