About
The character "糨" is structurally formed by the semantic component "米", which denotes rice or grain, and the component "強", serving both phonetic and suggestive purposes related to strength or viscosity. Its traditional form, "糡", maintains an identical composition of these elements. Etymologically, the character has consistently represented a thick adhesive paste made from grain starch, with its meaning narrowly focused on this substance and its application, as seen in compounds like "糨糊" for paste.
