When “服” fills a head
Why it is in the set
For the universal morning problem. It is one of the few characters in the set that names a decision rather than a feeling, and the generated lines are about the wardrobe rather than about how anyone looks. That distinction is enforced: no quip on this site may mention appearance, and 服 is the character where that rule does the most work.
What a head full of it looks like
Standing in front of an open wardrobe with a fixed expression. Buying the same shirt in a third colour. Planning an outfit for an event four weeks away. A head led by 服 is solving a small logistics problem repeatedly.
Words that use it
服 (fuku, clothes), 洋服 (youfuku, western clothes), 和服 (wafuku, Japanese clothes), 制服 (seifuku, a uniform), 服従 (fukujuu, obedience), 服用 (fukuyou, taking medicine).
Kanji it turns up with
金 (money) behind 服 needs no explanation. 忙 (busy) behind it is the person who wears the same thing four days running.
Where “服” comes from
The left part was originally 舟, a boat, later reshaped to look like the moon radical. The right shows a hand pressing a person down.
The oldest sense is submission, which survives in 服従 (to obey) and 征服 (to conquer). Clothing came from the idea of something that fits closely to the body.
服用 means to take medicine — a third branch from the same root, the sense of taking something into yourself.
A line you might get for “服”
