About
The character 涅, formed by the water radical combined with the component 圼, etymologically suggests an origin connected to blackened earth or silt within aqueous settings, initially referring to a dark pigment or mud extracted for use in dyeing processes. Its meaning gradually shifted from this concrete substance to acquire a significant abstract role when adopted within Buddhist texts as a key element in the transliterated term 涅槃 (nirvana), thereby extending its semantic field from a material dye to a spiritual concept without altering its fundamental graphical structure over time.
