About
The character "澄", with its traditional form identical to the modern standard one, structurally combines the water radical (氵) on the left with the component "登" on the right, which historically acted as a phonetic indicator but also contributes a sense of ascending or completing. Its core etymology relates to water that has settled and become clear and tranquil, a meaning that has remained consistent from its early usage. Over time, this literal sense of physical clarity was naturally extended into more abstract domains, allowing the character to describe mental clarity, transparent situations, or the act of clarification itself, thereby enriching its semantic range while retaining its foundational association with purity and lucidity.
