mound

Origin & mnemonic

This radical originates from a pictograph depicting a mound or heap of earth, reflecting the natural landform shape. In seal script and oracle-bone script, it was drawn as a raised mass of soil.

Mnemonic: Picture a raised heap of earth—the shape recalls a mound rising from flat ground.
