编. The silk radical (纟) on the left represents threads, combined with 扁 on the right, which depicts a flat narrow door. The original meaning is to weave or arrange threads in order, as one would weave threads into a flat, orderly fabric; this extended to compiling and editing, putting words together in proper sequence like woven threads.
