About
The character 藐 is a phono-semantic compound, with the grass radical 艹 on top indicating its original botanical connection to small plants, and the component 貌 below providing its phonetic element. While rooted in the idea of physical smallness, it functions primarily as an adjective or verb expressing extreme insignificance or the act of looking down upon someone with contempt and disrespect. This sense of disregard is central to its meaning, and it frequently appears in formal compounds describing slighting authority, ignoring rules, or viewing others as inferior.
