Simplified from (). Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *ŋʷrals): semantic (man) + phonetic (OC *ɢʷal, *ɢʷals, to make), originally “artificial”.

Etymology

Often thought to be derived from (OC *ɢʷal, “to act as”) (Karlgren, 1956; Wang, 1982; Baxter and Sagart, 2014).

Alternatively, it may be cognate to (OC *ŋʷaːl, “erroneous”) (Schuessler, 2007); this may be compared to Tibetan རྔོད (rngod, to deceive), though the -d in Tibetan is unexplained (Gong, 1995; Schuessler, 2007; Hill, 2014).

Jacques (2022, 2023) seems to attempt to unify the two etymologies above. He argues the Middle Chinese initial ng- in both (MC ngjweH) and (MC ngwa) come from a middle voice/intransitivizing prefix *ŋ-. , reconstructed as *ŋ-waj-s, would be derived from (OC waj) as the root.
