## Chinese

### Glyph origin

| | Old Chinese |
| 粥 | *ʔljuɡ, *luɡ |
| 鬻 | *luɡ |
The reduced form of the character 鬻 (OC *luɡ), which was an ideogrammic compound and the original character for "congee".

### Etymology
#### “congee; rice gruel”

    Related to 育 (OC *luɡ), 鬻 (OC *luɡ, “to nourish”) (Karlgren, 1956; Baxter and Sagart, 2014). Baxter and Sagart (1998) originally derive 粥 (OC *t-ljuk) from 育 (OC *ljuk), but later, Baxter and Sagart (2014) derive 粥 (OC *t-quk) from a root *quk (“to nourish”), which is related to 育 (OC *m-quk), as well as 畜 (OC *qʰuk, “to nourish”).
    Alternatively, it may be related to Tibetan ཐུག་པ (thug pa, “Tibetan-style soup, broth, gruel, porridge”) (Bodman, 1980; Schuessler, 2007).
