About
The traditional character 叢 is an ideogram and phono-semantic compound. Its semantic component, 丵 (zhuó), originally depicted grass or plants growing together. The phonetic component is 取 (qǔ, to take), with 廾 (gǒng, two hands) completing the structure. The simplified form 丛 uses 从 (cóng, from/following) for its phonetic value, placed above the horizontal stroke 一 (yī, one) as a base. The character consistently means a thicket, bush, or a collection of things gathered together, like a cluster of shrubs.
