The kanji 輩輩 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字). It combines the phonetic component 非 (hi, meaning "non-") with the semantic component 車 (kuruma, meaning "vehicle" or "wheel"). The semantic component 車 suggests the idea of a group of people following the same path or traveling together. The phonetic component 非 hints at the pronunciation "hai." Therefore, 輩輩 originally implied a group of people moving along a similar trajectory or sharing the same status, evolving to the general meaning of "fellows" or "group."
