péng

friend

moon (月) + moon (月) = a friend who mirrors you

The character originally depicted two strings of shells or jade pieces hung side by side — equals who share what they have. The doubled 月 shape echoes that pairing visually, two figures standing together.

+
The two 月 shapes here are not actually the moon radical but remnants of paired strings of shellsSemantic
