About
The character "茂" is structured with the grass radical atop the component "戊", a configuration that has remained stable throughout its history, where the radical directly indicates its botanical associations while "戊" functions phonetically yet implies a sense of sturdiness contributing to the overall concept of flourishing growth. Originally centered on describing densely thriving plant life, the meaning of "茂" progressively widened to include metaphorical applications denoting prosperity, richness, and high quality in various domains, such as talent or cultural achievements, illustrating a shift from literal to figurative usage while its graphical composition persisted unchanged.
