About
The character "晾" is etymologically derived from the semantic-phonetic compound structure where the sun radical "日" is paired with the component "京", which historically contributed both sound and the sense of brightness or elevation. Its core meaning shifted from the original concept of exposing something to bright sunlight for the purpose of drying or airing, a practical application of the sun's effect, to encompass the more general act of hanging items openly to dry or ventilate. This functional semantic focus on the process of drying through exposure has remained consistent, with the character's form and usage reflecting this straightforward purpose without significant alteration beyond its established role in the lexicon.
