About
浩 is a phonosemantic compound: 氵, the water radical, provides the meaning, and 告 gives the sound. Originally, it referred to a vast and turbulent body of water, such as a great flood or wide river, conveying a sense of immense volume and power. This meaning later broadened to describe anything vast, numerous, or extensive, both physically and abstractly. It commonly forms compounds for vast skies, huge quantities, or overwhelming momentum.
