About
緌 is a phono-semantic compound: the silk/thread radical 糸 on the left signifies a textile or woven material, while the phonetic component 委 on the right indicates the pronunciation. Its meaning is the decorative strings, ribbons, or tassels that adorn traditional Chinese hats and headgear, often fastened under the chin to secure the garment. This character is a specialized term found exclusively in historical writings on classical attire and ceremonial dress; it has no extended senses or colloquial use.
