About
The character 帚 is an ideogram originally depicting a hand holding a bundle of twigs or reeds tied together as a sweeping tool. Its upper section suggests the bound bristles, while the lower part represents the handle or a grasping hand, resulting in the stylized modern form. Its sole meaning is a broom or besom used for sweeping floors. 帚 most commonly appears as the second half of the compound word 扫帚, and its meaning has consistently referred to this household implement throughout history.
