說文解字 - Shuowen: 《糸部》繭蠶衣也。从糸从虫，黹省。

康熙字典文字版 【未集中】【糸字部】繭
〔古文〕絸【廣韻】古典切【集韻】【韻會】【正韻】吉典切，𠀤音趼。【說文】蠶衣也。【禮·祭義】世婦卒蠶，奉繭以示于君，遂獻繭于夫人。　又【釋名】煑繭曰幕。貧者著衣，可以幕絡絮也。或謂之牽離，煑熟爛，牽引使離散如綿然也。【禮·玉藻】纊爲繭，縕爲袍。　又繭繭，聲氣微也。【禮·玉藻】言容繭繭。【疏】猶綿綿，聲氣微細繭繭然。　又【戰國策】足重繭而不休息。【註】足傷皮皺，如蠶繭也。　【類篇】或作𦇂。俗作蠒，非是。
考證：〔【釋名】繭曰幕也。〕　謹照太平御覽引釋名原文改爲煑繭曰幕，或謂牽離。謹照釋名原文謂下增之字。
