===Glyph origin===
{{Han etyl}}
{{Han compound|𠂤|帚|ls=ic|t1=ancient form of {{zh-l|*師|troops}}|t2=broom; sweep}} – to eradicate the enemy and '''return'''.

Some analyse the {{lang|zh|帚}} component in the oracle bone script as a ligature of {{zh-l|*止|to stop, to cease}} and {{zh-l|*方|peripheral tribes}}, i.e. “(''of tribes in the periphery'') to cease enmity and '''submit'''”.

A {{zh-l|*止|foot}} or {{zh-l|*辵|walking}} component was further added in the bronze inscriptions.

''{{w|Shuowen}}'' deems {{och-l|𠂤}} to be the phonetic component of this character.

===Etymology 1===
{{zh-ref|Starostin}} and {{zh-ref|Schuessler (2007)}} consider this a possible derivative of {{och-l|回|to revolve; to return}}. Compared with {{cog|bo|འཁོར||circle; turn; to turn round; to return}} by {{zh-ref|Xue (2001)}} and {{zh-ref|Wang (2007)}}.
