風

Derived characters

 * Appendix:Chinese radical/風

Glyph origin
. Ancient Chinese people thought that insects appear with wind. (Insects refer to any kind of animal, such as tigers ).

In the oracle bone script, the character was phonetically borrowed to represent. The right part of the bronze inscription of the character consists of phonetic at the top, and three parts depicting the fur on the tail of the male fenghuang at the bottom. Subsequent forms of 風 are based on the right part of its bronze inscription, with two of the three threads of "fur" removed for simplification. The in the Chu script and Qin script of 風 was likely a result of further simplification of the "fur".  misinterpreted the character 風 by associating it with insects. 

Etymology
Possibly from (STEDT). Velar nasal final -ŋ, restored later in Middle Chinese, is preserved in cognates like Proto-Central Naga *m-puŋ, , ,.

Pronunciations 1, 2, and 3 are all cognates; with both 2 and 3 evolving from *prəm-s, exoactive (with causative suffix -s) of *prəm. It is unclear how Old Chinese *prəm is related to 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬.

🇨🇬 may have been borrowed from Chinese. The Chinese word has a wide range of extended meanings, and interestingly many of these have exact parallels in the Korean item. Compare Chinese and  with Korean.

Cognate with:
 * (note the preservation of the -r- infix in Old Chinese through disyllabification, also, )
 * (note the preservation of the -r- infix in Old Chinese through disyllabification, also, )

The development from Old Chinese to Middle Chinese was irregular, driven by of the initial and coda bilabial consonants.
