甲骨文“买”是会意字，上面是表示网罩的“网”，下面是表示钱财的“贝”，意为用网收罗贝币，表示买卖后收获钱财。
The oracle bone script form of the character "买 " (mǎi) is an ideogram. The top part, "网" (wǎng, "net"), and the bottom part, "贝"(bèi, "shell coins"), together depict the use of a net to gather shell coins, symbolizing earning money through trade.
