About
The character "曝" derives from the earlier form "暴", which initially carried the sense of exposing objects to sunlight, a meaning visually suggested by its components that implied a connection to the sun. To explicitly specialize this meaning and distinguish it from other uses of "暴" related to violence or abruptness, the character evolved to incorporate the sun radical "日" alongside "暴", which primarily serves a phonetic role in the compound. This structural refinement solidified its association with the act of drying or airing in the sun, a core meaning that has persisted through historical usage while also expanding into metaphorical realms, such as the exposure of information or images in modern compounds like "曝光".
