About
The character 晚 is a phono-semantic compound. Its left-side radical 日 (sun) connects it to time or solar phenomena, while the right component 免 provides the pronunciation. This structure roots the character in temporal concepts, with its primary meaning referring to the latter part of the day, evening or sunset. From this daily cycle, the meaning extends to denote lateness in any process, delayed timing, or the advanced stages of a life or season.
