Chinese

Glyph origin

Ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意): (large) + (long) – long, with some reference to hair. Originally written as 𡘷.

It was later borrowed for the “cover; cover with, put on (clothes); link” sense and has now lost its original meaning. It is also used as a classifier for a suit of clothes or a group of things, hence something that can be put on or a group of linked/interconnected things.
