Origin and Formation

The kanji is a 形声文字 (keisei moji), a phono-semantic compound character. The left side is the radical 竹 (take), meaning "bamboo". The right side is 萐 (shou), which contributes to the sound and originally related to the meaning of "to tie or bind something using bamboo". The bamboo component suggests a structure or a framework, and the right component, suggests a standard or a pattern, therefore contributing to its meaning of model, pattern, standard, or rule.
