simp. and trad. 敝 alternative forms 㡀
Ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意): 巾 (“cloth”) + 攴 (“hand holding a wooden stick”) – a hand hitting a piece of cloth with a stick.
Sometimes dots were added around the cloth, producing 㡀 as seen in the modern form. The dots could represent dust or dirt, in which case the character means to beat a cloth with a stick to clean it from dust. Alternatively, the dots could represent broken pieces of cloth, suggesting the meaning of “worn out, tattered,” but evidence of this sense does not appear until the seal script.
Unrelated to 黹.
