Origin and Formation

The kanji is a 形声文字 (keisei moji), a phono-semantic compound character. It is formed from: ・女 (onna): meaning "woman" ・如 (nyo): used phonetically to indicate the sound "jo". The original meaning was related to a woman's gentle and tolerant nature. The "woman" radical 女 (onna) hints at a feminine quality, associated with empathy and understanding.
