The kanji 繰 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 喿 (sō), which contributes to the sound and originally related to the idea of a flock of birds, hence "repeated" in flight. Thus, the kanji 繰 combines the idea of thread, or reeling, with the sense of repetition or repeated movement, like the action of winding or unwinding thread on a bobbin. The original meaning has evolved to include the concept of repeating or pulling something out.
