About
The character "服" originally conveyed meanings of submission and service, with its traditional form consisting of the components "月" and "㔾", which derive from earlier pictorial elements representing a boat and a hand, thus associated with actions of handling or obligation. Over time, its semantic range extended to include clothing and the act of wearing, likely due to the relationship between attire and social roles or the way garments fit the body.
