Glyph origin

Characters in the same phonetic series (發) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
廢 *pads
癈 *pads
橃 *pads, *bad
撥 *paːd
鱍 *paːd, *pʰaːd
襏 *paːd
驋 *paːd
鏺 *pʰaːd
潑 *pʰaːd
醱 *pʰaːd

Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *pads) : semantic 广 ‎(“house”) + phonetic 發 ‎(OC *pad).

During the Zhou–Qin period, 灋 (OC *pqab) and 法 (OC *pqab) were used to represent 廢.

Etymology

Related to 乏 (OC *bob, “to lack; to neglect”). Cognate with Tibetan འབབ་པ ‎('bab pa, “to go down; to move downward; to descend; calamity”), འབེབས་པ ‎('bebs pa, “to cause to fall; to bring down”) (Schuessler, 2007). Also compare Thai บอบ ‎(bɔ̀ɔp, “weak, worn out, run down”) (ibid.).
