廙＝广＋異

ㄧˋ · yì/miào

noun — a kind of building, a hall; (yì) reverent, careful

字源 FORM — what the parts do

广義a roofed building, a broad hall

異聲yì — gives the sounda figure holding a mask up over the head — strange, set apart

A roofed hall (广) over 異 — a building, a kind of house. 異 carries the sound yì; it pictures a masked figure with arms raised, marking something set apart. The reading miào sits far from the donor and isn't bridged by a regular shift, so it's left to stand as a separate reading.
