Etymology
Ideogrammic compound (會意 /会意): 䰜 (“cauldron”) + 米 (“rice”) — congee. Original form of 粥 (OC *ʔljuɡ, *luɡ, “congee”). 䰜 is a variant form of 鬲, which is a cauldron with three hollow legs, in which 米 (“rice”) is cooked. The two 弓 depict the steam emitted from the congee in the cauldron. 粥 (“congee”) is a reduced form of 鬻. 鬻 has since been phonetically borrowed to represent 𧶠 (OC *luɡ, “to sell”). ; "to sell"
