The kanji 裟 is a 形声文字（けいせいもじ - *keisei moji*, phono-semantic compound), combining the semantic component 衣（ころも - *koromo* - clothing） and the phonetic component 沙（さ - *sa* - sand/sha）. The 衣（ころも） radical provides the meaning, indicating that the character is related to clothing, and 沙（さ） acts as the phonetic component, indicating the sound and suggesting the type of fabric or material (possibly referring to the color or texture of the robe).
