About

焊 is a phono-semantic compound meaning "to weld or solder". Its structure combines the semantic radical 火 (fire) on the left, indicating the required heat, with the phonetic component 旱 (hàn, "drought") on the right, which provides the pronunciation. The pairing of fire and dryness aptly describes the physical conditions of welding, and the character’s meaning has remained consistently focused on this industrial practice.
