About
The character "埋" structurally integrates the earth radical 土 with the component 里, which carries connotations of an interior or enclosed space, thereby forming a semantic construct that implies placing an object within the ground. Its primary meaning has always revolved around the act of burying, initially applied to physical interment, but over time it acquired extended metaphorical senses, such as concealing emotions, neglecting talents, or setting ambushes, reflecting a shift from purely tangible contexts to more abstract applications while maintaining its essential link to the idea of concealment.
