About

The character "合" originated as an ideogram representing a lid fitting onto a container, conveying the concrete notion of joining or enclosing. Its structure, often analyzed as a combination of elements suggesting closure, has remained consistent in form while its semantic range expanded significantly. Initially denoting physical union, the character gradually acquired abstract meanings such as agreement, harmony, and suitability, which now permeate its usage in a wide array of compounds related to cooperation, compatibility, and integration.
