Glyph origin

Characters in the same phonetic series (粥) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 

	Old Chinese
粥	*ʔljuɡ, *luɡ
鬻	*luɡ

Ideogrammic compound (會意／会意) and phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *luɡ) : phonetic 䰜 (, “cauldron”) + semantic 米 (“rice”) — congee. 鬲 is a cauldron with three hollow legs, in which 米 (“rice”) is cooked. The two 弓 depict the steam emitted from the congee in the cauldron.

粥 (“congee”) is the reduced form of the character 鬻. 鬻 has since been phonetically borrowed to mean "to sell".

Etymology

"to sell"

Compare Khmer លក់ (lŭək, “to sell; to fine”) (Schuessler, 2007). May not be related to 贖 (OC *ɦljoɡ, “to redeem”).
