About
The character "朦" integrates the radical "月", representing the moon, with the component "蒙", which conveys a sense of covering or obscurity, thus etymologically linking it to the concept of dim or obscured moonlight. Initially employed in classical texts to describe the haziness of lunar light, often seen in the compound "朦胧", its meaning gradually expanded from this specific visual phenomenon to encompass a wider range of indistinct qualities, including blurred vision and vague ideas, thereby shifting from a literal reference to a more abstract adjective for anything lacking clear definition.
