The kanji 蓄蓄 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, keisei moji). The semantic component is 艹 (くさかんむり, kusakanmuri, the radical for "grass" or "plants") and the phonetic component is 畐 (fuku), which provides the sound and originally related to "full" or "abundance". The combination suggests the idea of storing or accumulating like storing food. Over time, the form and meaning evolved to encompass the general concept of saving or storing anything. The 畐 component visually changed to 畜 during the kanji's development, giving the current form to 蓄蓄.
