About
The character 修 (xiū) is a phono-semantic compound with the 彡 (shān) radical on the right, meaning hair or decorative patterns, and the phonetic component 攸 (yōu) on the left. Its original sense was to sweep, brush, or adorn something to make it neat and visually appealing. From this idea of grooming and decoration, the meaning extended to cover the repair or mending of objects, the building or construction of structures, the cultivation of moral character, the academic pursuit of study, and the description of something long and slender.
