1250/2000JLPT: N1School Grade: 6thThis character is a combination of 莫 a non-general use character meaning “must not/do not/be not” and 巾 cloth. 莫 itself depicts the sun sinking among the plants, and carries a meaning of “conceal.” Here 莫 is a phonetic element signaling the on’yomi, but it is also working to lend its own meaning. Together with 巾 this gives “cloth which conceals,” or a “curtain.” The other meanings have all developed through association. -- source link
