Tips

usage
襻 is the loop of cloth that a button passes through, as in 扣襻 ('button loop') and 鞋襻 ('shoe strap'). As a verb it means to tack or tie pieces loosely together.

Components

radical
衤 yī
clothing
衤 is the clothing radical, the left-side form of 衣. It marks 襻 as something belonging to garments, here the loop that fastens them.
phonetic
攀 pān
to climb; to hold on
攀 gives the sound, shifted in tone from pān to pàn. Its meaning 'to grip, hold on' faintly fits a loop that holds a button in place.
