About
The character 罩 is structurally composed of the net radical 罒 placed above the phonetic and semantic component 卓. This construction reflects its core meaning, which originally denoted a specific type of fishing implement or basket used to trap fish, a direct function associated with its net component. Over time, the meaning broadened from this specific tool to encompass any object that covers or encloses, such as a lid, shade, or hood, leading to its verbal sense of to cover or envelop. The traditional form is identical to the simplified one.
