About
The character "茸" is structured with the grass radical "艹" positioned above the component "耳", which functions phonetically to suggest its pronunciation. In terms of etymology, this character originally referred to the fine, downy hairs on plants, but its meaning later extended to include soft animal fur and specifically the velvet-like covering on deer antlers. This semantic shift allowed the character to describe various soft, dense textures, while its compositional form has stayed unchanged.
