About
毛 originated as a pictograph depicting a single strand of hair, animal fur, or a feather's barbs. As a radical and standalone word, its core meaning refers to the fine hair on human and animal bodies, distinct from the hair on the head. The sense extends to describe rough or fuzzy textures, raw or unprocessed materials, gross financial figures before deductions, and actions done in panic or haste.
