About
The character 阁 derives from the traditional form 閣, which combines the semantic radical 門 (mén, "door") with the phonetic component 各 (gè, "each"). Its simplified form uses the component 门. Originally meaning a side gate or small door within a larger structure, the character's sense expanded to denote a pavilion or multi-story building, and later came to refer to a cabinet, both a storage space for books or documents and, by extension, a government administrative body.
