The form 冓 may have originally depicted a pair of fish, face to face, and hence a meaning such as ‘to meet’ (now 遘 gòu). Karlgren (GSR:109) suggests that the character is a trellis-work (frame) or fishing baskets (笱?).
+
The Shuōwén Seal form of 構(􀿀) gòu combines 木(􀻢) mu ‘tree/wood’, and 冓(􀪷) gòu (phonetic).
−
It came to be written 冓, like 井 over 再. 媾 gòu ‘wedding, coitus’ was the same word (people interlocking), the same character being enlarged by 女. 木 (mù) ‘wood’ was added for the meaning ‘structure’. 沟 gōu ‘ditches’ and 篝 gōu ‘bamboo frame’ are cognate words.
+
Old forms asociated with 冓 might depict a pair of fish (strung together ‘face-to-face’, caught by a lucky fisherman; cf. 冓), and hence extended meanings such as ‘meet (face-to-face)’, now written 遘 gòu.

The simple form 构 replaces the right side with 勾 gòu (see 勾 for more discussion). Don’t confuse it with 枸 (jǔ, gǒu).

Compare: 姤/媾(􂉯) gòu ‘wedding/coitus’ (people interlocking); 遘(􀒵) gòu ‘meet’ (come together); 沟 gōu ‘ditches’, 篝 gōu ‘bamboo frame’; 枸 (jǔ, gǒu).
 +
The simple form 构 has 勾 gòu (cf. 勾) on the right side, instead of 冓 gòu.
