Pictogram (象形) : 每 + 㐬 – a woman with a bamboo hairpin (to indicate that she is an adult) 每 while giving birth. The newborn baby is head down on the right 㐬. The top part of 㐬 is 子 inverted, an abstracted body with a head at the bottom; compare 充. The three lines (川) below head are amniotic fluid coming out.

A later alternative form is 育, in which the amniotic fluid disappears.

Alternately considered a Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *luɡ) and ideogrammic compound (會意／会意) : semantic 每 (“woman”) + phonetic 𠫓 (, “child”) + semantic 川 (“amniotic fluid”).
