About
The character 隅 is a phono-semantic compound, with the semantic radical 阝 on the left derived from 阜 (meaning a mound or geographical feature), and the phonetic component 禺 on the right indicating its pronunciation. Its primary meaning is a corner or angle, such as where two walls or geographical boundaries meet. By extension, it also came to denote a remote, isolated, or overlooked place, often used in compounds to describe distant border regions or obscure corners hidden from common view.
