Glyph origin

Characters in the same phonetic series (爻) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
崤 *ɢaːw, *ɢraːw
郩 *qaːwʔ
敎 *kraːw, *kraːws
較 *kreːwɢs, *kreːwɢ
肴 *ɢraːw
淆 *ɢraːw
倄 *ɢraːw, *ɢʷɯːʔ
爻 *ɢraːw
餚 *ɢraːw
殽 *ɢraːw
笅 *ɢraːw
駁 *praːwɢ

Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *ɢraːw) : phonetic 爻 ‎(OC *ɢraːw) + semantic ⺼ ‎(“meat”) – meat dishes. The character 爻 also has meaning of “cut, divided, sliced”, so connotations of “sliced meat, prepared meat”.

Current form resembles 乂 + 有 – the lower 乂 of 爻 has moved to the side and down.
