Glyph origin

Characters in the same phonetic series (戌) (Zhengzhang, 2003)
	Old Chinese
滅	*med
搣	*med
烕	*hmed
戌	*smid
珬	*smid
銊	*smid

Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *hmed) : phonetic 戌 (OC *smid) + semantic 火 (“fire”).

Shuowen considers this to be an ideogrammic compound (會意) : 戌 (“ninth month”) + 火 (“fire”), probably alluding to a passage in Huainanzi:

火生於寅，壯於午，死於戌 [Classical Chinese, trad.]
火生于寅，壮于午，死于戌 [Classical Chinese, simp.]

Huǒ shēng yú yín, zhuàng yú wǔ, sǐ yú xū [Pinyin]

[The element] fire is born in the first month, is strong in the fifth month, and dies in the ninth month.

Etymology

Cognate with 滅 (OC *med); see there for more.
