Etymology

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *ljɯwɢs): semantic 衣 (“clothing”) + phonetic 由 (OC *lɯw). Part of a word family referring to any cover that one slips over something; cognate with 冑 (OC *l'ɯwɢs, “helmet”) (Schuessler, 2007). Schuessler (2007) reconstructs the word with a *s- suffix, which could play an iterative role, as sleeves come in pairs.
