Glyph origin

[edit]
Historical forms of the character 壞
Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han)
Small seal script
Characters in the same phonetic series (褱) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
瓌 *kuːl
櫰 *kuːl, *ɡruːl
褱 *ɡruːl, *ɡruːl
懷 *ɡruːl
瀤 *ɡruːl
壞 *ɡruːls
蘾 *ɡruːls

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *ɡruːls) : semantic 土 (“earth”) + phonetic 褱 (OC *ɡruːl, *ɡruːl). The radical of the earth is used since something that rots eventually becomes earth.
