The kanji 網 網 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, keisei moji). The left side is the radical 糸 (ito), meaning "thread" or "string," indicating its connection to materials used in nets. The right side is 冈, which seems to have depicted a net or enclosure. Therefore, 網 網 visually represents the construction of a net using threads.
