About
As a phono-semantic compound, 裘 uses the clothing radical 衣 at the bottom, placing it within the category of garments. The upper component 求 serves as the phonetic element, indicating its pronunciation. Originally, the character referred specifically to winter coats or robes made from animal hides with the fur still attached, worn for warmth. Since such garments were historically costly, the character also came to symbolize wealth and high social standing in classical texts.
