About
The character "浒", evolving from its traditional form "滸", is a phono-semantic compound that combines the water radical with a component originally intended to suggest pronunciation. Its etymology consistently relates to the land bordering rivers or lakes, specifically denoting a waterside or riverbank, a meaning maintained throughout its historical usage. The traditional structure incorporated an element meaning "to allow", which over time became less representative of the character's sound due to phonetic shifts. Structural changes led to a variant with a modified right-hand constituent, yet the semantic focus on water's edge remained intact, as seen in literary contexts like the classic novel "Water Margin", where it references the marshy outskirts central to the story.
