衣服
いふく · ifuku · JLPT N3 · noun
apparel
👕👖 衣服 = garment (衣) + clothing (服): two clothing kanji make clothes
衣 (い) means garment and 服 (ふく) means clothing, as in 洋服 (Western clothes) and 制服 (uniform). Putting two words for clothing together gives the everyday word for clothes.
服 — 月 (moon/flesh) + 𠬝 (kneeling figure with hand)
Originally depicted a hand subduing a kneeling person beside a boat (later simplified to 月), suggesting submission or service. The meaning extended from 'submit/serve' to 'clothing' (what one wears in service) and 'to take' as in medicine. The phonetic role of 𠬝 helps fix the reading fú.
