About
The character "荷" integrates the grass radical with the phonetic component "何", creating a structure that inherently suggests plant life while incorporating the sound and historical semantics of its lower element. Etymologically, the grass component anchors its primary meaning to the lotus plant, a designation preserved in classical and modern usage. The element "何", which in early texts conveyed the act of carrying, facilitated the character's expansion into a verbal sense meaning to bear or shoulder a load. This semantic development occurred through prolonged literary employment, allowing "荷" to function in both botanical and figurative domains without alteration to its written form.
