About
The character "漓", in its traditional form, carries its meaning primarily through its structure, which combines the water radical (氵) on the left with the component "離" on the right, the latter serving a phonetic function while also contributing a sense of separation or departure. This construction semantically suggests water in a state of dispersal or thinness, which is reflected in its core meaning of being saturated, dripping, or describing something as watery or diluted. Over time, the character became fixed in specific lexical compounds, most notably in "淋漓", which vividly describes something drenched or the free flow of expressions, and in the name "漓江" (Li River), where it evokes the image of the river's clear, flowing waters. Its usage has remained semantically narrow, almost exclusively bound to these established terms, preserving its original association with the behavior and quality of liquids from its etymological origins.
