About
冲 is the simplified form merging two traditional characters: 沖 and 衝. The first, 沖, combines the water radical 氵 with the phonetic component 中, originally meaning to pour, rinse, or wash away. The second, 衝, places the phonetic element 重 within the radical 行 (a street or crossroads), referring to a thoroughfare or place of heavy traffic, and later to dashing, colliding, or charging. The modern character 冲 uses the ice radical 冫 with 中, unifying the meanings of rushing forward with force and rinsing or washing with fluid.
