Glyph origin

	Old Chinese
嘲	*ʔr'eːw
廟	*mrews
朝	*ʔr'ew, *r'ew
潮	*r'ew

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

Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *r'ew) : semantic 氵 (“water”) + phonetic 朝 (OC *ʔr'ew, *r'ew).

Etymology

"Rising tide in the daytime" > "tide" (in general).

Derived from 朝 (OC *ʔr'ew, *r'ew, “morning”). Compare 汐 (OC *ljaːɡ, “evening tide; ebb”) < 夕 (OC *ljaːɡ, “evening”).
