-From 氵(水 shuǐ) ‘water’ and 原 yuán ‘original’.
+The character 源 yuán ‘source/origin’ combines 氵(水 shuǐ) ‘water’, and 原(􁾨) yuán ‘source/origin of a river’ (phonosemantic); formerly wr. 原, cf. 原.
-	Etymologically the same word as 原, which shows a 泉 (quán) spring coming out of a 厂 cliff, the original source of 水 water.
+	Note: 源 yuán ‘source/origin’ is an augmented wr. of 原, used to specify the old meaning of 原 ‘source/origin of a river’, but also used to specify more abstract ‘source/origin (in general)’; 原 itself has a wider range of extended meanings, which obscured the old concrete meaning.
