About
The character "囊" originates from the conceptual depiction of a bag, its structure illustrating a container with tied ends, and it is etymologically constructed with the phonetic component "襄" that informs its sound. Initially referring to a physical sack for storage, the term's meaning gradually extended to denote any bag-like structure, such as biological cysts or anatomical capsules, and further expanded into metaphorical uses expressing inclusion or containment. The traditional form of the character, preserved in its contemporary writing, retains visual elements that echo its original purpose as a represented receptacle.
