Shuowen gloss: 車中靶也.從糸.妥聲. [662]

Comments: The proper meaning of the character is "strap fixed to carriage (to help ascending it)", given in Shuowen and attested in Lunyü (also written as 踒). This word is no doubt derived from *n(h)uj (MC ńwi, Pek. ruí) 'tassel, pennon, pendant' which is also written as 綏 or as its graphic variant 緌, as well as 蕤 q.v. The character 綏 itself is more often used for a homonymous *snhuj 'pacify, peaceful'.
