Origin and Formation

The character is a pictograph. The original form likely depicted armpits. The meaning evolved to express "also" or "again" through the concept of doubling or similarity. The two dots at the top of the character are thought to have been added to indicate the idea of "another" or "also". This is a simplification of a more complex interpretation of the character.
