Shuowen

辑. The character is formed from the vehicle radical 车 and the phonetic 咠, indicating a sense of bringing together. In oracle bone and early bronze inscriptions the graph shows carts placed side by side, symbolizing harmonious alignment and collection. The original meaning of “to gather” later extended to “to edit” and to denote a volume or part of a book.
