About
This phono-semantic compound combines the semantic radical 木 (mù, wood/tree) on the left, placing it in the plant category, with the phonetic component 帛 (bó, silk) on the right. It denotes the cotton plant and its textile fibers. The construction logically pairs the plant indicator with a character for a valuable fabric, reflecting cotton’s role as a plant-based material used for clothing like silk.
