服

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

• Structure: 服, read ふく, means clothing worn on the body.
• Basic usage: It refers to clothes as things one prepares, wears, or dries.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

• Modification by a verb clause
  • In the example, 明日着る服 means clothes to wear tomorrow.
  • 雨でぬれた服 means clothes that became wet in the rain.
• Time relationships
  • In the first example, the clothes will be worn tomorrow but prepared tonight.
  • 明日 belongs to the modifying clause, so its time differs from the time of preparation.
