About
The character "晤" is structured from the semantic component "日" (sun, day) and the phonetic component "吾" (I, me), together conveying an original sense of brightness or illumination, likely metaphorical for clarity in understanding. Its earliest meanings were associated with light and brightness, but this concrete sense shifted toward the more abstract idea of a clear meeting of minds, specifically to meet face-to-face or to have an interview. Over time, the character’s usage became almost exclusively focused on this interpersonal and verbal sense, denoting a direct and often insightful conversation, as seen in the compound "會晤" (to meet for talks), leaving its original luminous connotations largely obsolete in modern application.
