About
The character 深 is a phono-semantic compound, with the water radical 氵 on the left indicating its connection to bodies of water. The right component 罙 provides the pronunciation and carries the notion of probing or reaching far. Its core meaning refers to physical depth, especially in rivers or oceans, and this later extended to metaphorical senses like profundity, intense emotion, or dark color. The structure pairing water with distance forms the standard character, with no simplified variants in use.
