## Chinese
### Glyph origin

Ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意): 大 (“large”) + 長 (“long”) – long, with some reference to hair. Originally written as 𡘷.
It was later borrowed for the “cover; cover with, put on (clothes); link” sense and has now lost its original meaning. It is also used as a classifier for a suit of clothes or a group of things, hence something that can be put on or a group of linked/interconnected things.

### Etymology 1

Cognate with 韜 (OC *l̥ʰuː); probably cognate with 㧺 and 錔 (OC *tʰuːb).
