紗
muslin
紗 is composed of the radical 糸 (silk, thread) and 少 (few). 糸 depicts a bundle of tied silk threads, representing silk fabric, while 少 is a pictograph of four tiny particles, which can be understood as specks of light. Thus, 紗 refers to a light, soft, and thin silk fabric that is translucent due to its thinness.
