About
The character "净" originates from its traditional form "淨", which combines the water radical "氵" with the component "爭", suggesting an act of striving or washing with water to achieve cleanliness. In the simplified form, the water radical is replaced by "冫", a component associated with ice, yet this structural alteration maintains the core concept of purity. Over centuries, the meaning of "净" has expanded from denoting physical cleanness to encompassing abstract notions such as spiritual purity or the state of being net or complete, reflecting its adaptive integration into various linguistic contexts without losing its fundamental etymological connection to the idea of refinement.
