About
The character 套 is an ideogrammatic compound, with 大 (dà, "big") stacked vertically over 镸 (cháng, a variant of 长, "long"). This arrangement combines concepts of size and length to convey the idea of something large enough to envelop another object. The meaning thus evolved from the physical act of covering to encompass various nouns and classifiers, such as a protective cover, a matched set, a standard routine, or an interlocking system.
