罗(luó) Origin: “罗”的甲骨文字形是一张网捉住了鸟，所以“罗”的本义是捕鸟的网，后来加上了“糸”旁，表示网是丝织成的，因此又引申为“轻软的丝织品”。On ancient oracle bone inscriptions, “罗” looks like a bird caught in a net, so its original meaning is a net for catching birds. Then people added the “糸” component to indicate that the net is made by silk, in turn extending the definition of “罗” to soft silk.
