窝
wō
nest
pit or hollow on the human body; lair; den; place; to harbor or shelter; to hold in check; to bend; classifier for litters and broods
cave (穴) + sound (呙) = nest, den, or hollow
穴 pictures a cave entrance — a sheltered hollow dug into the earth — which maps naturally onto nests, lairs, and body pits like armpits. 呙 mainly carries the wō sound and adds nothing to the meaning.
