Radical 尸

10 strokes

corpse 尸 (268a) + gown (665b) = display 展

This also means to “unfold” or “postpone”.

发展 (146) fāzhǎn develop (economy)

[展出 (114) zhǎnchū display; be on show]

(The well-loved princess Janet dies…) they put a gown on the corpse before putting it on display (for the mourners to file past). / Teddy makes a placard: “Prinsess Janit this way.” (Spelling is not his strong point).

This is the bottom part of “dress” (436a), suspended from a horizontal line (which you can think of as a belt).

grass 艹 (218a) + a skirt (665a) = gown

Although this looks like “grass” plus “skirt”, if you look closely you can see that the grass is actually joined on, as it is in “bacon rashers” (625a).

Imagine sewing sheaves of grass together to make the skirt for a gown. / [No pronunciation needed]
