About
The character '婪' is structured with the components '女' for woman and '林' for forest, an arrangement whose original semantic motivation remains somewhat ambiguous despite its long-standing association with greed. Etymologically, it has consistently denoted avarice or excessive desire in Chinese literary usage, with no significant shift in its core meaning over centuries. While the visual conjunction of elements might imply a metaphorical narrative, the character's functional role in language has been narrowly and stably defined to express the idea of insatiable craving.
