The kanji 畝 is a *形声文字* (*keisei moji* - phono-semantic compound). The left side is a component that represents land. The right side is phonetic, *母* (*bo*), which originally meant "breast." Its pronunciation is related to that of the right component. The combination suggests the meaning of a raised area of land, much like a raised breast. The character has evolved over time, retaining its association with agricultural ridges.
