Glyph origin

Characters in the same phonetic series (虐) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 

	Old Chinese
虐	*ŋawɢ
瘧	*ŋawɢ
謔	*hŋawɢ

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *ŋawɢ) : semantic 疒 + phonetic 虐 (OC *ŋawɢ).

Etymology

Perhaps related to 虐 (OC *ŋawɢ, “to oppress, to coerce, to be violent”).

Compare Thai งก ๆ (ngók-ngók, “shivering, shaking (due to fever or fear)”), Thai หงก ๆ (ngòk-ngòk, “shivering (as from ague)”).
