裙子
qún zi · HSK 3
skirt
👗 裙 = clothing radical 衤 + 君 (jun, ruler); 子 is a noun suffix
裙 pairs the clothing radical 衤 with 君 (jūn, lord/ruler) as the phonetic, shifted to qún. 子 is a common noun-forming suffix, as in 桌子 (table) or 椅子 (chair). So 裙子 literally reads as ruler-garment, now just skirt.
子 — pictograph of a baby/child with arms out
子 began as a pictograph of a swaddled infant with a large head and outstretched arms, originally meaning 'baby' or 'child.' From there it broadened to 'son,' 'offspring,' and a respectful suffix for masters like 孔子 (Confucius). It also became one of the twelve earthly branches.
