wood (木) + frame-sound (匡) = a wooden frame or border
木 grounds the meaning in wood, the traditional material for door frames and structural borders. 匡 primarily lends the kuàng sound, though 匡 itself carries an old sense of a square basket or container, which quietly rhymes with the idea of enclosure.
