Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *sŋraːɡ) : phonetic 屰 (OC *ŋraɡ) + semantic 月 (“moon”)

Etymology

From 逆 (OC *ŋraɡ) plus s-prefix. Schuessler (2007) interprets it as literally "turn again toward to meet"; while Baxter & Sagart (2014) interprets it as "when the moon changes from waning to waxing", with s- being a circumstantial prefix for place, time, & instrument.
