About
The character 珠, denoting a pearl, is structurally formed by the jade radical combined with the phonetic component 朱, linking it conceptually to precious stones while providing its pronunciation. Its original meaning centered specifically on pearls, but over time it acquired extended applications to describe any small, spherical object of value or resemblance, such as beads or teardrops, thereby maintaining its association with worth while adapting to broader linguistic contexts.
