About
The character 棚 incorporates the wood radical 木 on the left, signaling its material basis, paired with the phonetic element 朋 on the right, and originally described a simple wooden canopy or shed built from poles and planks. From this core concept of a temporary wooden structure, its meaning expanded over time to denote various kinds of frames and shelving, such as racks for storage or supports for climbing plants, reflecting a generalization from specific shelters to multifunctional frameworks used in both agricultural and everyday contexts.
