Originally 又 (OC *ɢʷɯs, “right hand”) in the oracle bone script.

In bronze inscriptions, a 口 (“mouth; speech”) component was added, perhaps with the intention of indicating the use of 又 (OC *ɢʷɯs, “again”) is a phonetic loan. In other words, the current form is a phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *ɢʷɯʔ, *ɢʷɯs) and ideogrammic compound (會意／会意) : phonetic 又 (OC *ɢʷɯs, “right hand”) + semantic 口.

නිරුක්තිය

From Proto-Sino-ටිබෙට් *g-(j/r)a (“right (hand)”) (STEDT). Cognate with ටිබෙට් གཡས (g.yas, “right”), Jingpho hkra (khʒa⁵⁵, “right”), බුරුම ယာ (ya), ညာ (nya).

友 (OC *ɢʷɯʔ, “be friendly; friend”) is the endoactive derivation of 右 (OC *ɢʷɯʔ) (Schuessler, 2007).

佑 (OC *ɢʷɯs, “to aid”), 祐 (“(of divinity) to assist; to bless”), 宥 (OC *ɢʷɯs, “to pardon; magnanimous”) are exoactive derivations of 右 (OC *ɢʷɯʔ) (ibid.).

“(politics) right-wing”: Semantic loan from ඉංග්‍රීසි right, in turn a semantic loan from ප්‍රංශ droite.
