About
The character "裹" originates from a vivid pictographic idea, combining the component for clothing, "衣", which is split to enclose the component for fruit, "果", creating a visual representation of an object being wrapped or enveloped within a garment. This structure has remained consistent in its traditional form, directly illustrating its core meaning of "to wrap" or "to bind". Over centuries, its application expanded from the literal act of wrapping physical items to more abstract or figurative uses, such as describing something being swathed in bandages, entangled in circumstances, or even bundled together conceptually, while always retaining its fundamental sense of encasement.
