Ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意): 耳 (“ear”) + 又 (“hand”) - to take the ear of fallen prey, a rite of hunters mentioned in the Rites of Zhou.

大獸公之，小禽私之，獲者取左耳。 [Classical Chinese, trad.]
大兽公之，小禽私之，获者取左耳。 [Classical Chinese, simp.]
From: Rites of Zhou, circa 3rd century BCE
Dà shòu gōng zhī, xiǎo qín sī zhī, huò zhě qǔ zuǒ ěr. [Pinyin]
(please add an English translation of this usage example)

Shuowen interprets it as taking the ear of an enemy instead. However, Wang (2022) points out that there is no evidence that this actually happened in war.[1]
