About
泽 is the simplified form of 澤, a phono-semantic compound combining the water radical 氵 with the phonetic 𠬤. In simplification, the complex phonetic element of the traditional character was replaced by this compact component. It literally denotes a pool of water, a marsh, or a damp depression where water naturally accumulates. From this literal sense, the character gained metaphorical meanings of moisture and nourishment, and later came to signify a glossy brilliance, shining luster, and the bestowal of profound favors and beneficial grace upon others.
