Etymology
About
The phono-semantic character 襆 (fú) combines the clothing radical 衤 (yī), indicating cloth, with the phonetic 菐 (pú) on the right, and originally denoted a piece of cloth for wrapping and carrying items, like a traveler's bundle. It became particularly prominent in the Tang and Song dynasties in the term 襆頭 (fútóu), a style of men's cloth turban, thus extending its meaning from a generic wrapper to this specific historical headgear.
