About
The character "妆", meaning makeup or adornment, derives from its traditional form "妝", which structurally combines the semantic component "女" representing woman with the phonetic component "爿". In the simplified version, the phonetic element is modified to "丬". Etymologically, the character originally denoted the general act of dressing up or decorating oneself, but over centuries its meaning narrowed to specifically indicate the application of cosmetics or facial adornment.
