About
The character 藏 is a phono-semantic compound with the grass radical 艹 at the top, suggesting the concealment of objects within vegetation. The component 臣 functions phonetically and semantically, implying goodness or the safe storage of valuables. Its original meaning was to hide or store away. This later diverged into two usages: a verb meaning to conceal or store, and a noun referring to a repository or collection, which eventually became the specific term for Tibet and Tibetan Buddhism.
