carpet
🧶 地毯 = ground + blanket — a blanket for the ground
地 means earth or ground, 毯 means blanket. A carpet is literally a ground-blanket — something soft spread flat across the floor for comfort and warmth.
地 — earth 土 + 也 (phonetic)
地 is a semantic-phonetic compound. The left component 土 means 'earth' or 'soil' and gives the meaning, while 也 on the right hints at the pronunciation. Originally referring to the ground or land, it broadened to mean 'place,' 'region,' and 'territory.'
