Glyph origin

Characters in the same phonetic series (戉) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
泧 *qʰʷaːd, *kʰʷad, *ɢʷad
眓 *qʰʷaːd
越 *ɢʷaːd, *ɢʷad
狘 *kʰʷad
戉 *ɢʷad
鉞 *ɢʷad
樾 *ɢʷad
怴 *qʰʷrɯd

Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *ɢʷaːd, *ɢʷad) : semantic 走 (“to walk or run”) + phonetic 戉 (OC *ɢʷad) — to go over; to cross.

Etymology

edit
 
戉 (yuè) or 鉞 (yuè): large battle-axe used as a symbol of authority in ancient China.
“to go over; to surpass; to overstep; to turn”
From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *grwat (“to travel; to go through”).
Related to 𨒋 (“to go over”), 䟠 (“to go beyond; to transgress”) (Wang, 1982) and perhaps 于 (OC *ɢʷa, “to go”) (Schuessler, 2007).
“modal particle”
Related to 曰 (OC *ɢʷad), 于 (OC *ɢʷa) and 粵 (OC *ɢʷad) (Wang, 1982).
“Yue; Viet; State of Yue”
Related to 粵 (OC *ɢʷad, “Yue; Cantonese”).
This is a general name for numerous indigenous tribes in ancient southern China, which are collectively called Baiyue. The ancient State of Yue during the Zhou dynasty of China was initially written as 戉 (OC *ɢʷad, “large battle-axe”) — alternatively written as 𫑛 — and it is commonly believed the name Yue originates from this instrument, which was widely found in neolithic cultures of southeastern China and served as a symbol of authority and royalty.
See 戉 (OC *ɢʷad) for more on the etymology.
