<WL>驼(F駝) [tuo] 骆驼 luòtuo camel [tuó] 驼背 hunchback; 锅驼机 locomobile
<WL>驼(F駝) [tuó] 骆驼 luòtuo camel; 驼背 humpback/hunchback; 驮 carry by pack animal; 锅驼机 locomotive@@  [chí] cf. 駝
From 马(馬 mǎ) ‘horse’ and 它 tā phonetic.
The character 驼/駝 tuó ‘camel’ (骆驼) combines 马/馬 (mǎ) ‘horse’, and 它(􂗿) tuō/tā ‘cobra’ (phonosemantic).
The original meaning is ‘humpback’ or ‘hunchback’; according to Karlgren this was one of the meanings of 它 tā ‘cobra’ (presumably due to the way a cobra bends). A distinct character (though etymologically the same word) is 驮 tuó; don’t confuse 驮 with 驼.
[它/佗/駝] ‘humpback/hunchback’ —Karlgren (AD) [ app. due to the way a cobra arches/spreads its back/hood; cf. 它 ]
Compare: 驮/馱 tuó ‘carry a load on the back (of pack animals)’, duò ‘load carried (by pack animals)’.
