Ideogrammic compound (會意／会意) : 㫃 (“flag”) + 从 (“together”) – brigade.

anything lined up in a regular fashion > one after another > line up in a row, set forth; troops, multitude

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *g-ra-t (“bone”) (STEDT, Schuessler, 2007)

guest, stranger, lodging

Unrelated to sense ‘arrange in a series, etc.’ but from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *d-gra (“stranger, enemy”) (STEDT; Bodman, 1980; Schuessler, 2007); Schuessler additionally thinks this may belong to a larger group which includes 格 (OC *klaːɡ, *kraːɡ, “to go, to come”).
