About
倮 is a left-right phono-semantic compound. The left component, the human radical 亻 (rén), connects the meaning to people or a human state. The right component, 果 (guǒ), provides the pronunciation. The character's primary meaning is "naked" or "bare", specifically describing the unclothed human body. It is synonymous with the more common character 裸 (luǒ), which uses the clothing radical instead. However, 倮 emphasizes the human aspect of nakedness and is often found in classical texts describing ancient tribes or cultural practices involving bareness, though its use is now rare compared to 裸.
