妻

Components:

女 (woman) – semantic component, indicating relation to a woman.

Above the 女 is a depiction of hair being touched or grasped by a hand (又).

The original pictograph shows a woman with her hair being held or combed, which in early Chinese culture signified the act of a woman becoming a wife (marriage).

In Korean, it’s read 처, used in compounds like 夫妻 (부처 – husband and wife).
