About
茗 is a phono-semantic compound. The upper grass radical 艹 provides its semantic category of plants, while the lower component 名 indicates its pronunciation. The character primarily means tea leaves or the tea plant, often referring specifically to late-picked leaves or tender buds. It serves as a more literary alternative to the standard word for tea, commonly found in poetic contexts or formal names related to tea cultivation and consumption.
