Glyph origin

Characters in the same phonetic series (龖) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
龖 *l'ɯːb
襲 *ljɯb

龍 ‎(“dragon”) + 衣 ‎(“cloth”).

Note that in Japanese, 龍 is simplified to 竜 in isolation, but not as part of this character, even though this character is part of the Jōyō kanji (the only original complex Jōyō character to include 龍/竜, joined in 2010 by 籠).
