About
The character 花 is a phono-semantic compound meaning "flower" or "blossom". Its semantic radical 艹 (grass/plant) at the top places it in the botanical category, while the phonetic component 化 (to change) at the bottom contributes the pronunciation. This structure evokes a plant undergoing transformation, aptly representing the blooming of a bud. Beyond its literal meaning, 花 has developed figurative uses, including as a verb for spending money or time, and as an adjective for multicolored patterns, blurred vision, or a bewildering variety.
