About
The character "榻" etymologically combines the wood radical "木" with the phonetic component "𦐇" to denote a wooden piece of furniture, initially referring to a low and narrow bed used for sitting or sleeping. Its meaning was precisely defined in early contexts as a humble couch for daily use or accommodating guests, which later broadened to include more general types of beds and daybeds without losing its original connotation. The structural integrity of the character has been maintained over time, with its components consistently reflecting both its material composition and auditory pronunciation.
