About
The character 蒙 combines the grass radical 艹 with the component 冡, which historically depicted something covered or shrouded. Its original meaning referred to dodder, a parasitic vine that engulfs other plants. From this botanical sense, the meaning extended to actions and states involving concealment, deception, or ignorance, such as being fooled, acting blindly, or suffering misfortune. It commonly describes a lack of education or unconsciousness, and it also serves as the phonetic transcription for Mongolia and its people.
