About
秃 is formed by 禾 (grain) above 几, a component that now looks like a small table but historically comes from a pictograph of a person. This structure evokes grains of hair on a head, hence 'bald', referring to a hairless human head. The meaning extends to anything bare, stripped of its natural covering, or lacking expected foliage, a barren mountain, a leafless tree, and to blunt objects, like a worn brush or pencil that has lost its point.
