-From 王(玉 yù) ‘jade’ and 睘 huán phonetic; 睘 has been replaced by 不 in the simple form. The primitive meaning is ‘bracelet’, hence 玉 yù ‘jade’. Etymologically the same word as 还(還) huán ‘return’ (turn around, round trip).
+The full-form character 環(􀂃𤪹) huán ‘jade ring’ (璧) combines 王(玉 yù) ‘jade’, and 睘(􀤦瞏) huán ‘look around in fear’ (phonosemantic).
+	In the simple form 环, the full-form component 睘 is abbrev. to a shape like 不 (rather like the last few strokes of 睘).
+	Compare: 还/還(􀓆𨘣) huán ‘return’; 怀/懷(􁳀) huái; 坏/壞(􂚜􂚭) huài.
