Origin of 裘

裘 is a compound character with 衣 (clothing) on the bottom and 求 on top. Originally, 求 was itself a pictograph of a fur coat with a tail, but later came to mean 'seek', so 衣 was added to specify the original fur-coat meaning. Together, 'clothing made of fur' is clearly indicated.

💡 Memory Tip: Imagine a furry coat hanging on a hook shaped like the top part (求), with the bottom 衣 reminding you it's clothing.
