Glyph origin

Historical forms of the character 誘
Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han)
Small seal script

	Old Chinese
透	*l̥ʰoːs, *hljuɡ
莠	*luʔ
誘	*luʔ
蜏	*luʔ, *slus, *lus
琇	*luʔ, *slus
秀	*slus
銹	*slus

Characters in the same phonetic series (秀) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *luʔ): semantic 言 (“word, language”) + phonetic 秀 (OC *slus).

Etymology

Possibly Proto-Sino-Tibetan *b-s-lu (STEDT) and cognate to Tibetan སླུས (slus, “to entice; to impose on; to deceive”). The character 䛻 (yòu) would have been phonetically closer to 盾 (OC *l'uːnʔ, *ɦljunʔ) ~ /*slun/ at an early stage, which might have been an internal cognate, but it was normalized as an alternative form of 誘 / 诱 (yòu) by later lexicographers. Also related to 訹 (OC *slud). (Wang, 2012)
