traditional skirt; mo (ancient Japanese skirt)
Historical term for a type of skirt-like garment worn in ancient Japan, often as part of formal court attire. Not used for modern skirts.
The mo of a twelve-layered court robe trails long behind.
I saw a reproduction of an ancient mo at the museum.

The kanji 裳 is a phono-semantic compound with 衣 (clothing) and 尚 (phonetic component). The word も is native Japanese, and its exact origin is uncertain.
