Etymology
About
褯 is a phono-semantic character composed of the clothing radical 衤 (the left-side form of 衣, 'clothing') and the phonetic component 席 (xí). Its primary meaning is a baby's diaper or swaddling cloth. Historically, it has been used primarily in regional dialects and colloquial speech, most often appearing in the compound 尿褯子 (niàojièzi) for a cloth diaper. The meaning has remained narrow and practical, confined to infant care items without metaphorical extensions.
