The kanji 穣 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, keisei moji). The right side of the character, 臼（きゅう - kyuu), represents a mortar, a tool used for processing grains. This side acts as the semantic component, hinting at the connection to agriculture and grain processing. The left side is 水（みず - mizu or sui） representing water, a key element for successful farming. This combination illustrates the importance of water, the land, and grains for a prosperous harvest. Over time, the character evolved to more closely embody the concept of an abundant harvest.
