About
The character '丛', derived from its traditional form '叢', originates from the concept of a dense growth or thicket, reflecting its initial meaning related to clustered vegetation. Structurally, the traditional character incorporates elements that suggest accumulation and gathering, with the component '丵' depicting a dense cluster and '取' possibly contributing phonetic value. Over centuries, its semantic scope broadened from denoting physical aggregations like groves or bushes to encompassing any collective group, such as a crowd of people or a compilation of items. The simplified form '丛', adopted later, retains the core idea of togetherness through its composition of '从' meaning 'to follow' or 'together' and a horizontal stroke indicating a base or unity, thus preserving the essential notion of collection while streamlining the character's form.
