(Explanation from the entry for the simple form ​经:) The Shuōwén Seal form of ​经/經(​􂐄) jīng ‘warp (of a loom)’ combines ​纟/​糸 (sī) ‘silk/thread’, and ​𢀖/​巠(​􁾘) jīng ‘(liquid/thread) channel’ (phonosemantic); formerly wr. ​巠, cf. ​𢀖.
    Note: The component ​𢀖/​巠(​􁾘) is sometimes said to be an old wr. of ​经/經(​􂐄) jīng ‘warp (threads); channel/through; blood vessels’, depicting warp threads on a loom (forming the channel through which the weft passes).
    Note: The received SW gloss ​織 is emended to ​織​從​絲 (DYC), with ​從/​縱 specifying nominal 經 jīng (n.) ‘warp (of a loom)’, vs. verbal 經 jìng (v.) ‘weave (string the warp)’ (HDZ).
    Compare: ​纬/​緯(​􂐋) wěi ‘weft/woof (of a loom)’; ​织/​織(​􂐅) zhī ‘weave (textiles/fabric)’; ​缋/​繢(​􂐍​𦇣) huì ‘thrums (warp head/tail threads)’.
    Compare: ​综/​綜(​􂐉) zèng/zòng ‘heddle (of a loom)’; ​杼​柚 zhùzhóu ‘(shuttle and reed of a) loom (in weaving)’.
    Note: In weaving, the “vertical” warp threads are strung out in parallel on the loom, stretched tight (like the strings of a guitar), and alternately warped by the heddle (alternate warp threads are raised/lowered creating the warp shed channel/passage), through which the shuttle carries/weaves the “horizontal” weft threads (cf. ​纬), to be set in place by the reed/beater.
    Compare: ​经​过, ​经​历 ‘pass through (a channel/way/etc.); undergo’; ​经​常 ‘constant’; ​经​典 ‘classics’.
    Compare: 《​诗​经》, 《​易​经》, 《​道​德​经》 (names of important classical texts, classics).
    Compare: ​经/經 jīng ‘longitude’ (vertical); ​纬/​緯 wěi ‘latitude’ (horizontal).
    Compare: ​胫/​脛(​􀭛) jìng ‘shin’; ​茎/​莖(​􀈗) jīng ‘stem/stalk’; ​径/​徑(​􀔚) jìng ‘footpath’.
