About
绗 is a phono-semantic compound used as a textile term for the action of quilting, or stitching fabric layers together. The semantic radical 纟 (silk or thread) links it to sewing, while the phonetic 行, meaning 'walk' or 'row', provides the pronunciation háng and possibly evokes the parallel rows of stitches produced in quilting. It is the simplified counterpart of 絎, which features the traditional silk radical 糸; structurally and semantically, the two characters are identical.
