About
貌 is a phono-semantic compound with the animal radical 豸 on the left, originally indicating a connection to beasts, and the phonetic component 皃 on the right, which depicts a human face. Despite the animal radical, its primary meaning refers to human physical appearance or facial features. This sense later extended to encompass the general exterior look or visible qualities of both animate and inanimate things, distinguishing outward aspect from internal reality.
