About

A phono-semantic compound, 谟 combines the simplified speech radical 讠 (from traditional 言, as seen in 謨) suggesting spoken words or deliberation, with 莫 indicating the pronunciation. The traditional form is 謨. In classical usage, it referred to the formal discussion of state affairs, the offering of official advice, or the proposal of a grand strategy to a sovereign. Modern Chinese retains it in elevated registers, where it denotes a comprehensive plan, an important governmental policy, or a meticulously devised tactical scheme.
