Etymology
    
Variant of 廌 (OC dreʔ) (Guangyun; Schuessler, 2009). If true, see there for etymology.
Janhunen (2011) instead suggests that 豸 and 廌 possibly had denoted different animals, yet were confused so they would be used seemingly interchangeably to refer to the same range of vague folkloric and mythological beasts.
