<WL>皁 [zào] (=皂) (as in 肥皂 féizào ‘soap’)@@; acorn (栎实, 柞实); black (dye/color); 差役; 12 horses; fodder; 马栏, 廏; soft/young grain husk; 皂莢
From 白 and 十.
From 白 and 十. 白 in this character is said to depict an ‘acorn’, as in 樂/櫟 ‘oak tree’; the acorn husk was a source of black dye, and tannic acid for tanning hides. The expression 青红皂白 ‘all the colors of the rainbow’ has 皂/皁 ‘black’ with this old meaning. Why 白 should should have been used for ‘white’ “is not clear” (cf. EDOC: 白 bái₁).
