囗聲wéi — an enclosure, walked around; it carries the sound
Feet turned back-to-back (舛) round an enclosure (囗) — walking opposite ways, going against. 囗 carries the sound. The leather sense is borrowed: tanned hide was used to bind things that pull against each other. As a sound it builds a series: 違、圍、衛、緯.
