-From 贝(貝 bèi) ‘money’ and (full form:) 冓 gòu or (simple form:) 勾 gòu phonetic.
+The simple-form character 购 (8 strokes) is an abbrev. of the full-form character 購 (17 strokes), simplifying 貝 to 贝, and replacing the full-form component 冓 (10 strokes) with 勾 (4 strokes).
+	Note: In the simple form 购 gòu, the full-form component 冓 gòu/gōu, becomes 勾 gōu/gòu (phonetic).
+	The Shuōwén Seal form of 购/購(􁅉) gòu ‘to get/acquire what one seeks by means of wealth/trade-goods/money’ combines 贝/貝 (bèi) ‘cowrie/money’, and 冓(􀪷) gòu (phonosemantic).
+	Compare: 爯(􀪹) chēng/chèng ‘weigh/scales’ (称/稱), in which the lower part is an old pictograph, one half of 冓(􀪷).
+	Compare: 讲/講(􀚔𧪿) jiǎng ‘haggle/discuss/reconcile’; 媾(􂉯) gòu ‘unite in marriage’; 姤 gòu ‘mate/spouse’ (䷫).
+	Compare: 逅 hòu, 遘(􀒵) hòu ‘(happen to) meet/encounter’ (䷫).
