Mnemonic story
This kanji originally represented a hedgehog. The combination of a pig head (彑), a cover (冖), and fruit (果) depicts a hedgehog curled up like a round fruit, with its many spines gathered together. This led to the meanings 'collect' or 'category,' and it is primarily used today in the word for vocabulary (語彙).
