About
The character "沛" originally referred to swampy or water-saturated land, a meaning inferred from its structure which combines the water radical (氵) with the component "巿", the latter primarily acting as a phonetic element. Its semantic field shifted from describing physical abundance of water to expressing general copiousness or plentifulness, and later extended to convey qualities of vigor and energetic force in modern lexical contexts.
