About
The character 浇 (traditional: 澆) is a phono-semantic compound. Its water radical 氵 on the left provides the semantic category, linking it to liquids and water-related actions. The right component 尧 functions solely to indicate the pronunciation. The primary meaning is to pour liquid, specifically in agriculture as watering crops or irrigating fields. In industrial contexts, it also describes casting molten materials like metal or plastic into molds.
