About

浒 means water's edge, riverbank, or shore. It is a phono-semantic compound: the radical 氵 (water) indicates the meaning, while the phonetic element was originally 許 in the traditional form 滸, simplified to 许. The character is best known from the title of the classic novel Water Margin, and today appears mainly in historical, literary, or formal geographical contexts rather than in everyday speech.
