About
The character 穗, structured with the semantic component 禾 (grain) and the phonetic component 惠, originally denoted the ear or spike of a cereal plant. Its meaning later broadened to include any hanging cluster or fringe resembling such an ear, as seen in textiles or ornaments, reflecting a shift from a specific agricultural term to a more general descriptive use.
