The kanji 倍 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字). The left side is a radical called "人" or "亻" (person), which serves as a semantic component (meaning part), and the right side is "咅" (hou) which is phonetic component (sound part). The meaning of the phonetic component "咅" is related to the sound /bai/. The combination suggests a doubling or multiplication related to people or things. The character initially represented "to double" or "twofold" and evolved to encompass the broader meaning of "times" or a multiple of a quantity.
