About
裳 is a phono-semantic compound with the clothing radical 衣 at its base, indicating a connection to apparel, and the component 尚 at the top providing its phonetic value. In classical Chinese, this character specifically referred to the lower garments or skirts worn by both men and women, distinguishing them from upper garments. As language and clothing styles evolved, this distinction blurred, and today 裳 is most commonly found in the compound word 衣裳, which serves as a general term for clothing.
