About
Composed of the roof radical 宀 and the phonetic element 禺, the character "寓" initially denoted the act of lodging or residing within a house, a direct reflection of its pictorial component, from which its meaning broadened to include the figurative action of embedding or containing one thing within another, such as a moral within a story. This semantic extension led to the concept of allegorical expression, where "寓" came to signify the implication of a deeper meaning through an outward form, a shift that retained the character's original structural composition while adapting its application to more abstract domains over time.
