Glyph origin

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

	Old Chinese
榎	*kraːʔ
廈	*sraːs, *ɡraːʔ
嗄	*sqʰraːs, *qraːds
夏	*ɡraːʔ, *ɡraːs

Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *sraːs, *ɡraːʔ) : semantic 广 + phonetic 夏 (OC *ɡraːʔ, *ɡraːs). However, the phonetic component means "great", hence it adds part of the meaning.

Etymology 1

Related to 嘏 (OC *kraːʔ, “great”) (Wang, 1982).
