The kanji 買 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字). The left side is the radical 罒 (me), which is the "net" radical, and the right side is the component 貝 (kai), which means "shell". In ancient times, shells were used as a form of currency. The original meaning of 買 reflected the act of exchanging goods for money, represented by the shells. Over time, the meaning broadened to encompass the general concept of buying or purchasing. The net radical may suggest the "enclosure" of something as it's purchased.
