About
潲 is a phono-semantic compound with the water radical 氵 on the left, indicating its relation to liquids, and the phonetic component 稍 on the right, providing the pronunciation "shào". It has two distinct meanings, both tied to its watery nature. As a verb in meteorological contexts, it describes rain driving diagonally in strong winds. As a noun in agricultural or domestic settings, it refers to swill or liquid slop mixed with food scraps, used for feeding pigs. These are the character's only standard uses.
