About
The character "珑", historically represented by the traditional form "瓏", etymologically combines the jade radical "王" with the component "龍" meaning dragon, indicating its early association with jade objects often carved with dragon imagery or employed in ceremonial contexts. Over time, its meaning shifted from referring solely to such physical artifacts to encompassing abstract qualities of delicacy and transparency, as evidenced in the compound "玲珑" which conveys a sense of intricate craftsmanship or subtle cleverness. The character's structure, anchored by the jade radical, has maintained its semantic link to valued minerals, while the dragon element has experienced graphical modifications consistent with long-term orthographic trends.
