About
The character 樟, which denotes the camphor tree, is structured with the semantic radical 木 for "tree" and the phonetic component 章 to signal its pronunciation, following the conventional phono-semantic model of Chinese character formation. Its etymology links directly to the camphor tree species Cinnamomum camphora, and the character has been used specifically for this tree and its derived products, such as camphor wood and camphor oil, without broadening to other meanings over its historical usage.
