About
The character 涨 (traditional: 漲) is a phono-semantic compound. Its water radical 氵 on the left indicates a connection to liquid, while the right component 张 (traditional: 張) provides both the phonetic element and a core sense of stretching or expanding. It originally described the rising of water levels, such as a river swelling or a tide coming in. This fundamental meaning of upward expansion later broadened to include rising prices or quantities, as well as physical swelling from blood accumulation, such as in the face or head.
