About
The character "露" combines the semantic element "雨", indicating rain or atmospheric moisture, with the phonetic element "路", which provides sound and contributes the notion of a path or surface, originally forming a concept tied to dew as visible dampness on open grounds. Its meaning gradually extended from this concrete reference to the natural phenomenon toward the abstract action of exposing or revealing, mirroring how dew manifests hidden moisture into plain view. This conceptual progression from a physical state to an act of disclosure is reflected in the character's enduring structure, which continues to encapsulate both the literal and metaphorical dimensions without alteration.
