The kanji 絡 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字). The left side is the radical 糸 ito, meaning "thread" or "silk." The right side is 各 kaku, which serves phonetically and contributes to the meaning, suggesting "each" or "various." Therefore, the character depicts threads that are interweaving with each other. The whole character indicates the meaning of being related or connected to each other.
