About
The character 楠, designating the nanmu tree, is structurally formed as a phono-semantic compound with the semantic component 木, placing it within the category of trees or wood, and the phonetic element 南, which guides its pronunciation. Etymologically, it has consistently identified a particular evergreen tree esteemed for its durable and aromatic timber, as documented in historical Chinese texts. While its core meaning has remained specifically tied to this botanical entity across centuries, the character’s employment in literature and technical records has reinforced its associations with high-quality woodcraft and architectural use, maintaining semantic stability without notable divergence.
