Glyph origin

Historical forms of the character 釆
Shang	Western Zhou	Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han)	Liushutong (compiled in Ming)
Oracle bone script	Bronze inscriptions	Small seal script	Transcribed ancient scripts

Pictogram (象形). According to Shuowen Jiezi, it's an animal paw with spread toes, hence the character is linked to 蹯.

According to Zhang Shichao (張世超), it's the representation of a wooden plough (力) and some seeds to convey the concept of "disseminate, spread", hence the character is linked to 播.

Unrelated to the top component of 𢍏, used in 奧.

Etymology

Exopassive of 辨 (OC *brenʔ, “to divide, distinguish, discriminate”); possibly in the same word-family as another exopassive 瓣 (OC *breːns, “what is divided”). These three thus may be related to either 班 (OC *praːn, “to distribute → to arrange, classify → class, group”) or Mizo pʰel (“to split, cut in halves”) (with medial *-r- dropped after labial initials according to Mizo phonotactics) (Schuessler, 2007).
