Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *djɯns, *djɯnʔ, *djins) : phonetic 辰 (OC *djɯn) + semantic 虫 (“insect”).
May also be an ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意) , with 辰 possibly being an agricultural tool made from clam, see there for more.
Etymology
[edit]Possibly related to 辰 (OC *djɯn, “5th earthly branch; dragon”) (Schuessler, 2007); see there for more.
Carr (1990) organizes characters in the 辰 phonetic series into two groups, one of which is "dragon", which includes 蜃 as well as 晨 (OC *djɯn, “dragon star”).
