About
The character "萄" exists only within the compound "葡萄" to refer to grapes, originating as a phonetic borrowing from a Central Asian source word when the fruit was introduced to China. Its structure consistently pairs the grass radical "艹" denoting plant life with the component "匋" serving as a phonetic indicator, reflecting the original transliteration process. Since its adoption, this character has remained semantically fixed to that specific term without evolving separate meanings, and its graphical form has been maintained without alteration across historical writing systems.
