About

It denotes looking downward from a higher vantage point or gazing deep into something. The character also functions as a surname. The 目 radical anchors the meaning in visual action, while 覃 provides the sound, distinguishing it from other ocular verbs and allowing use both as a descriptive term and a proper noun.
