Glyph origin
| Historical forms of the character 邪 |
|---|
| Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han) |
| Small seal script |
 |
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *ljaː, *laː) : phonetic 牙 (OC *ŋraː) + semantic 邑 (“town; city”).
The semantic component suggests that this character was originally used in a place name, which Shuowen suggests to be 琅邪. It was later borrowed for other meanings, the most prominent being “wrong; evil” (originally written as 衺).
