The character 展 (10 strokes) is an abbrev. of the old form ​ (19 strokes), keeping the outer component ​, but replacing the old inner abbrev. component ​𧝑(​𧝣) with the shape ​(⿱​).
    The Shuōwén Seal form of 展(​) zhǎn ‘turn/spread’ combines ​(​𡰣) shī ‘body/corpse’ (four limbs spread out), and ​𧝑 zhàn ‘brick-red silk-yarn garment’ (abbrev. phonetic)
    Note: In the SW gloss ​/​ zhuǎn ‘turn’ is paronomastic, cf. ​/展​ zhǎn ‘toss/turn’; ​/​ zhuān ‘fired mud/clay brick’.
    Note: (​) (​) ​、​展​ “How rich and splendid, Is her robe of state!.” (Legge)
