About
The traditional character "樸" is structured with the wood radical "木" and the component "菐", initially denoting unworked or rough timber, a concrete meaning that later extended to abstract qualities of simplicity and plainness. The graph "朴", composed of "木" and "卜", originally referred to a specific tree like the hackberry or its bark. Through historical textual usage and semantic convergence, "朴" assimilated the meanings associated with "樸", leading to its current capacity to represent both the tree and the concept of being unadorned.
