Etymology
About
褯 is a phono-semantic compound with the semantic radical 衣 (yī), written as 衤 on the left, and the component 席 (xí) providing the phonetic base. It refers to a cloth diaper or swaddling cloth for infants. The structure links the concept of fabric with a phonetic marker. The character is used mainly in regional dialects and colloquial speech, commonly in the compound 尿褯子 (niàojièzi). Its meaning remains specific to infant care and cloth goods, without acquiring metaphorical extensions.
