About
The character 蔽 is a phono-semantic compound, with the grass radical 艹 on top indicating its semantic link to plants or foliage. The lower part, 敝, provides the phonetic element for pronunciation. Originally, it meant to use grass or dense vegetation as a screen or cover. This concrete sense later broadened to the general verb meaning "to hide" or "to conceal", applicable to both physically shielding objects and abstractly obscuring truths.
