About
Originating from the traditional form 澤, the character 泽 is a phono-semantic compound. The water radical 氵 on the left indicates its core meaning relates to water and terrain. During simplification, the complex phonetic component on the right was replaced with a concise form to reduce strokes while preserving balance. Its literal meaning refers to a pool, marsh, or damp lowland where water collects. This idea of gathered water extended metaphorically to represent moisture, nourishment, and a gleaming luster. Consequently, the character also came to mean the bestowal of grace or beneficial favor.
