Pictogram (象形) – a man or figure with an ugly face and tail.
Compare 異 (“different, strange”), where the 田 also derives from a face.
It may not be clear from the character, but the lower right “dot” is a small 厶; it is a residual tail – compare 离.
Etymology
Unknown. May be related to 威 (OC *qul, “to overawe, to terrorise”) with k-nominalisation and endoactive tone B, lit. "the thing which is doing the overawing", or related to 歸 (OC *klul, “to return”). See also 詭 (OC *krolʔ, “to deceive; peculiar”).
