About
The character 汁 is a phono-semantic compound with the three-drop water radical 氵 on the left, placing it in the semantic field of liquids, and the component 十 (ten) on the right, which provides its pronunciation. The meaning has remained consistent, referring to the liquid extracted from natural substances, primarily juice from fruits, vegetables, and plants, or savory liquids from cooking meat. In modern culinary terms, it broadly applies to any sap, extract, sauce, or liquid residue.
