the silk radical reminds me of softness, and the right character looks like a notebook for me, soft paper is usually inside notebooks.

The right part of the character looks like a stack of paper and the silk radical reminds me of the past in which they used to make paper from silk

It looks like the format of the daily news paper. With different articles on the left and right of the paper.

The left part of the character reminds me of the blades of a PAPER shredder, waiting to shred the stack of paper (right part of character), resulting in paper shreds (the bottom part of the silk character).
