About
The character 耢 refers to a type of agricultural implement, specifically a harrow used to level soil, and also means to harrow a field. Its left component 耒, the farming-tool radical, categorizes it within agricultural labor. The right component 劳 serves as the phonetic element while evoking the physical work involved. The traditional form is 耮, which uses the unsimplified 勞. This character remains firmly rooted in rural farming practices, illustrating how specialized vocabulary develops from agrarian needs without extending into general usage.
