Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *roːŋ, *roŋs) : semantic 月 (“moon”) + phonetic 龍 (OC *b·roŋ, *mroːŋ).

Unlike most other characters with a 月 (yuè)-like component on the left, this character's 月 (yuè) is not the cursive form of 肉; 朦朧／朦胧 (ménglóng) was originally used in reference to the moon.

Etymology
Kanji in this term
朧
おぼろ
Hyōgaiji
kun’yomi

Appears to be 凡 (obo, “dim, faint; hazy, indistinct”) +‎ ろ (-ro, suffix apparently indicating general location or time, as in 所 (tokoro, “place”), 頃 (koro, “around (a specific time)”); compare ら (ra)).[1][2]

The food-related senses may come from the way these dishes involve breaking up the main ingredients into smaller indistinct pieces.

First attested in The Tales of Ise from the early 900s.[1]
