About
The character "灌" is structured with the water radical "氵" and the phonetic component "雚". Its original meaning centered on irrigating fields by pouring water, which then extended to general acts of pouring or filling. This concrete sense gave rise to metaphorical extensions, such as灌输 for instilling ideas, and later to technical uses like灌錄 for recording media. The character's meaning thus evolved from physical hydration to abstract infusion and electronic capture.
