The kanji 省 is a phono-semantic compound. The phonetic component is 少(しょう, shou), which means “few” or “little.” The semantic component is 目 (me, eye). The original meaning of this character was to "look closely" or "examine." The "少" suggests looking at something with attention, and "目" depicts the action of the eye. Over time, the meaning broadened to include "to inspect," "to reduce," and "to omit."
