The kanji 瑞 みず is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字). It combines the radical 王 (ō, "king" or "jade") on the left, and the phonetic component 耑 (sen, meaning "beginning"). The presence of 王 suggests something precious or valuable. The combination of these components likely represents a valuable or auspicious object, like a piece of jade, that signals good fortune or is a good omen. The meaning of 瑞 みず has evolved over time to encompass a broader sense of auspiciousness.
