The kanji 服 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字). The left side, 月 (つき/にく), is a radical that represents "flesh" or "body." The right side, 畐 (ふく), provides the phonetic element and also originally represented the shape of a container or vessel. The combination suggests the idea of clothing covering the body, like a vessel containing something.
