This character is a combination of 巾 cloth and 畐 a Chinese-only character meaning “full.” Here 畐 is a phonetic element, signaling the on’yomi, while also lending it’s own meaning of “full / to fill to the brim.” With 巾 it gives 幅 a meaning of the full “width” from one edge of a cloth to the other. It later came to mean “width” in general. “Scroll” is an associated meaning.
