About
The character 糕, meaning cake or pastry, is structured with the semantic component 米 for rice and the phonetic component 羔, which provides the pronunciation but not its meaning of lamb. Etymologically, it originated in later Chinese lexicons to denote foods made from grains like rice or wheat flour. Its application gradually narrowed from a broad category of grain-based dishes to more specifically refer to sweet or steamed cakes in modern usage.
