The Shuōwén Seal form of 由 yóu ‘follow; cause/reason’ is said to be a variant of 繇(䌛); an entry for 由 does not occur in received SW texts, but it is a component in many SW characters, and occurs in received versions of important classics; DYC added it to his SW edition (as a variant of 繇), guessing that the form is a modification of 田 tián ‘field’ (in which the vertical line depicts an access road; cf. 迪: 道).
Old graphs associated with 由 include: 卣(𠧪) yǒu ‘vessel/ewer’; 逌(𠧷𠧴𠧠) yōu/yóu (攸); cf. 柚(櫾𣟾) yòu ‘pomelo/grapefruit’.
“It represents the germination of a fruit-stone, or a large grain; 田 represents the grain, on the top of which the germ is coming up; 于果中上出者芽。象形, 指事。By extension, beginning, principle, origin, starting point, cause, to produce, etc.” —Wieger (cf. 果, 㽕, 甲)
