軍服
ぐんぷく · gunpuku · JLPT N1 · noun
uniform
🪖 軍 (army) + 服 (clothes) = army clothes = military uniform
軍 (gun) means army and 服 (fuku) means clothing. Together they name the uniform worn by soldiers and sailors. In the compound, 服 shifts to puku.
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.
