Origin

Compound word

构词法gòucífǎ

The first part narrows down the second: it says what kind of thing the head is.

矩 (rule) and 阵 (array) name a regular array.

Characters in this word

A drawing of the thing itself, worn down over three thousand years into a few strokes.

The shape of 矩 came from a picture of a man holding a carpenter's square.

Two or more meaningful parts placed together so that their meanings combine into a new one.

This origin belongs to the traditional form 陣; 阵 is its simplified writing.

東東dōngsack?
東東dōng
攴攴pū

In the traditional form 陣, a left-side part was added to a shortened 東; the older shape also used 攴. The simplified 阵 is a later shorthand.
