The character 曲(􂎝) qū is a picture of 蠶箔 cánbó ‘bamboo/reed tray/basket/frame (used in sericulture)’; also called 曲簿=薄曲 (蚕箔/薄), it holds the silkworms and mulberry leaves, and twigs on which they spin their cocoons; compare the Seal forms: 曲(􂎝􂎞𠤬) qū, 匚(􂎄􂎅𠥓) fāng.

The Shuōwén Seal form of 曲(􂎝) qū ‘curved basket’ derives from old pictographs said to depict a basket used in sericulture, cf. 蠶箔 cánbó ‘bamboo/reed tray/basket/frame (used in sericulture)’; also called 曲簿=薄曲 (蚕箔/薄), it holds the silkworms and mulberry leaves, and twigs on which they spin their cocoons; formerly wr. 𠤬(􂎞).
Pronounced only when the meaning relates to ‘music/melody’. Meanings of the character develop from ‘curved’ to qǔ ‘melody’: ‘(curved/concave) basket/tray; anything curved/bent (not straight; not right; wrong); a bend; curve/bend/break; winding (in and out), tortuous, pervasive, comprehensive (knowing the ins and outs); a section/segment/piece; a musical piece; melody; rhyming poetry; measure word (of music/poetry)’.

Compare: 匚(􂎄􂎅𠥓) fāng ‘square vessel/basket’; 匸(􂍽) xì ‘cover/conceal’.
For 曲/麴 qū ‘yeast’, various forms were used historically, including 麯 and 粬 (in which 曲 is phonetic), as well as 麴, 𥶶, and others. 曲 is the standard simple form. 麴 is now standard in Taiwan.
