About
The character '袄', representing a padded or lined coat, derives from its traditional form '襖', structurally combining the '衣' radical indicative of clothing with the '奧' component that primarily offered phonetic guidance while possibly alluding to the garment's concealed or insulated nature. Over time, its semantic focus has persistently centered on warm outer garments, such as quilted jackets, without significant deviation. The simplified iteration '袄' arose from substituting the complex '奧' with the simpler phonetic element '夭', thereby retaining the character's sound association while streamlining its written form.
