About
The character "裕" is structured with the semantic component "衣" in its left-sided form "衤", denoting clothing, combined with the phonetic element "谷" on the right, which originally meant valley and provided sound. Its etymology suggests an initial association with ample clothing or sufficient garments, reflecting a concrete state of material adequacy. Over time, its meaning broadened from this specific sense to encompass general abundance and economic prosperity, eventually extending to abstract qualities such as generosity or ease of mind, as evidenced in classical literature where it describes both tangible wealth and virtuous conduct. This semantic shift unfolded gradually while the character's graphical form maintained its consistent composition.
