What 襘 means
It names a place where clothing meets.
The Shuowen dictionary defines 襘 as the point where a belt is tied. The Zuo Zhuan, an early Chinese historical text, uses the term in a formal-dress description with the point where a collar crosses. In 襘, 衤 signals clothing and 會 hints at its Chinese pronunciation.
Vietnamese Chữ Nôm, a historical writing system for Vietnamese, also uses 襘 for cởi (“take off clothing”) and gói (“wrap”). Those Vietnamese meanings are separate from its Chinese clothing sense.
A literary, specialist Chinese clothing term.
