About

The Chinese word '领袖' is formed by combining the characters '领' (collar) and '袖' (sleeve), which are prominent and functional parts of traditional clothing; their conjunction metaphorically denotes a person who guides or directs, as the collar and sleeves are key elements that shape and lead the garment, thus yielding the meaning 'leader.'
