About
The character 浮, meaning to float or drift, is structured as a phono-semantic compound with the water radical 氵 on the left and the component 孚 on the right, which primarily serves a phonetic function, indicating an original association with buoyancy on water. From this literal sense, its meaning extended to encompass figurative uses, including descriptions of transient or superficial qualities, as well as notions of exceeding limits or norms.
