織る

おる · oru · JLPT N3 · verb-godan

to weave

🧵🧶 織 = 糸 thread + 戠 for sound; to weave is to work with thread

The left part of 織 is 糸, the thread radical, which also appears in 紙 (paper) and 線 (line). Careful: 折る (to fold) and 居る are also read oru, but only the weaving one has thread in it. The noun 織物 (おりもの) means woven fabric.
