About
The character 萝 is a phono-semantic compound denoting a category of plants. Its semantic radical 艹, the grass radical, clearly marks it as vegetation. The simplified form uses 罗 as its phonetic component, while the traditional 蘿 uses the more complex 羅, which originally meant a net for catching birds. Early definitions referred to trailing or climbing vines that spread across surfaces. Today, it is most commonly found in the word for radish, the edible root vegetable.
