About
The character for 'anchor', traditionally written as 錨 and simplified to 锚, is a phono-semantic compound in which the metal radical conveys the object's typical material composition while the component 苗 primarily offers a phonetic cue, reflecting the maritime transition to metal anchors from earlier materials. Its etymology directly ties the character's form to its function, and the meaning has remained specifically linked to the nautical mooring device without broadening or shifting significantly over centuries of use.
