About
暮 is an ideogrammatic compound centered on the sun component 日, indicating the time of day and the passage of light. The upper portion originally depicted dusk, the sun sinking into thick grass to mark day's end. To clarify this meaning and distinguish it from other uses, a second 日 was later added to the bottom. Its primary sense refers to dusk, sunset, and approaching evening. By extension, it also signifies the late stages of a season, year, or life, symbolizing an ending or decline.
