Seal ; late graph - Shuowen. Has 广 127 ‘house, building’, and {either ‘base of small
hill’, or ‘spoon touching bottom of plate’ > ‘down low’} as semantic and phonetic, meaning ‘dwelling at foot of hill’ {see The Complete Guide to Japanese Kanji - pg. 575}. Yamada takes ‘lowest part, bottom’ as loan usage, but it can alternatively be seen as extended sense through generalization. Ogawa takes differently, as phonetic only with associated sense ‘stop, stay’; in this view, ‘bottom’ is loan use.
