About
The character 溢 is a phono-semantic compound, with the semantic water radical 氵 on the left indicating a connection to liquids, and the phonetic component 益 on the right providing the pronunciation. Its core meaning describes water or liquid overflowing from a container. This sense later extended metaphorically to include emotions, qualities, or quantities that exceed limits, become excessive, or radiate outward overwhelmingly.
