About
Composed of the grass radical atop signaling its botanical category and the phonetic component "夌" below, the character "菱" has historically referred to the water caltrop plant, an association maintained since its early recorded use. The semantic scope of the character later extended to describe the geometric shape of a rhombus, a meaning inspired by the angular form of the plant's fruit, illustrating a natural shift in application from a specific flora to an abstract geometric concept without alteration to its fundamental structure.
