About
The character "倮" is a phono-semantic compound consisting of the person radical 亻 and the component 果, which primarily functions as a phonetic indicator while also loosely evoking the image of something exposed like fruit. Its etymology links to early Chinese texts where it denoted a state of being unclothed, particularly in reference to humans, and over time its usage narrowed to specifically describe human nakedness, as seen in classical compound terms such as "倮虫" for hairless creatures. The character's form has consistently combined 亻 and 果, with the meaning shifting from a broader sense of bareness to a more focused association with the human body without garments.
