About
The character "袋" is constructed from the semantic component "衣", which denotes clothing or fabric, and the phonetic component "代", guiding its pronunciation, forming a character that originally signified sacks or pouches crafted from pliable materials like cloth or leather. Over time, its meaning has remained focused on such containers, though it has extended to serve as a measure word for quantities contained within them, reflecting a logical semantic expansion based on its functional use. The consistent structure of the character, with "衣" underpinning its association with protective coverings, has helped maintain a direct link to its etymological origins, while its application has adapted to encompass a variety of bag-like objects without departing from its fundamental concept of a flexible receptacle.
