Glyph origin
Historical forms of the character 騷
Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han) Liushutong (compiled in Ming)
Small seal script Transcribed ancient scripts
Characters in the same phonetic series (蚤) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
蚤 *ʔsuːʔ
慅 *sʰuːʔ, *suː
騷 *suː
搔 *suː
鰠 *suː
溞 *suː
颾 *suː
瘙 *suːs
瑵 *ʔsruːʔ
糔 *suʔ
鼜 *sʰɯːwɢ

Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *suː) : semantic 馬 (“horse”) + phonetic 蚤 (OC *ʔsuːʔ). Sense “grieved, sad” is a phonetic loan.

Etymology 1
to harass, to bother
Schuessler, 2007 suggests it is a voiced variant of 搜 (sōu, “move”), p. 450.
grieved, sad
Of Austroasiatic origin. Schuessler, 2007 makes a connection to Old Khmer [script needed] (sook, “sorrow, affliction, grief, to be sad, to grieve”), p. 451. The loss of OC coda is attributed to the long vowel.
