About
The character 满, originating from its traditional form 滿, integrates the water radical 氵 with the component 㒼, a combination that historically conveyed the notion of liquid abundance or overflow, thus establishing its core meaning of fullness. This etymological foundation in physical saturation gradually broadened to encompass more abstract states of completeness and entirety, allowing the character to function in contexts ranging from filled containers to satisfied emotions. Over time, its semantic scope extended to include connotations of perfection or thoroughness, as evidenced in various compound formations, while the structural emphasis on water remained a latent reference to its initial conceptual focus on plenitude and sufficiency.
