The kanji 羅 is a pictographic-semantic compound. It originally depicted a net or a fine mesh. The top part, originally depicting a net, later evolved, and the lower part is derived from the character for "silk" (糸, pronounced いと - ito). The combination visually represents thin silk fabric or something resembling a net. This character evolved over time.
