The kanji 藤 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, けいせいもじ). The semantic component is 艹, which is the "radical" (部首, ぶしゅ) meaning "grass" or "plant," and provides the meaning. The phonetic component is 滕, which provides the sound, though the exact relationship between the sound and meaning of 滕 is not directly apparent in the modern meaning of 藤. The combination suggests a type of plant, specifically wisteria.
