About
Originally written as 𣶒, a pictograph of water enclosed within a deep pool, the character later gained the water radical 氵 to form the traditional 淵. Its simplified version, 渊, reduces the right side to 袁. The primary sense is a deep abyss or bottomless gulf, from which it broadened to abstract depth, profound knowledge, deep-seated resentment, or vast scholarship. In literary usage it suggests unfathomable profundity, immense expanse, or a gathering place for fish and resources.
