(Explanation from the entry for the simple form 现:) The character 现/現 xiàn ‘glitter/twinkle/shine of jade’ combines 王(玉 yù) ‘jade’, and 见/見() jiàn/xiàn ‘see/appear’ (phonosemantic): the glittering/twinkling appearance of jade; formerly wr. 見, cf. 见.
Note: Formerly 現 xiàn ‘glitter/twinkle/shine of jade’, later re-used to distinguish 见/見 xiàn ‘appear’, from 见/見 jiàn ‘see’; cf. 见.
Compare: 发现/见 fāxiàn ‘find/discover; realize/perceive/notice’ (wr. both 发现 and less commonly also 发见); 现/见 xiàn variation is also seen in several other less common cases (ABC).
“[現] Lustre of a gem: conspicuous, become visible; actual, present, now” —Karlgren(AD).
Compare: 霰(䨷) xiàn ‘(small) hail/sleet’ (雪珠), formerly wr. 䨘().
