About
The character "荷" is a phono-semantic compound formed by the grass radical (艹) atop the phonetic component "何", structurally linking it to plant life. Its original meaning referred specifically to the lotus plant, including its leaves and flowers. Over time, the character was phonetically borrowed to represent the verb "to carry" or "to bear", evident in terms like "负荷", thereby expanding its semantic range while retaining its botanical association through its radical.
