絹
きぬ · kinu · JLPT N4 · noun
silk
🧵 絹 = thread 糸 + silkworm 肙: thread from the worm; kinu, think kimono
The left side 糸 is the thread radical found in many textile kanji. The right side 肙 is an old character for a small wriggling worm, so the whole reads as worm-thread. Sound hook: kinu starts like kimono, the garment most tied to silk.
