About
The character '陆', originating from its traditional form '陸', is structurally composed of the radical '阝', which signifies a hill or mound, and the component '坴', representing soil or earth, thereby etymologically conveying the notion of elevated and stable ground. Its early meaning specifically referred to high, flat land, but through prolonged usage, the term gradually broadened to encompass any solid earth as opposed to water, and later came to denote substantial landmasses like continents. The simplified form preserves these core structural elements, and while the character's application has generalized over centuries from a precise topographic description to a more abstract geographical concept, its fundamental association with terrestrial substance has remained consistent.
