Glyph origin

Coined by Chinese geologist Li Siguang in 1934 based on the principle of ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意) : 虫 (“animal; small organism”) + 筳 (“spindle”), a fossil organism shaped like a spindle (Latin fūsus). The pronunciation derives from the principle of phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声) with 筳 (tíng) as the phonetic component.
