部件结构
容 = 宀 house + 谷 valley
- 宀 house
- 谷 valley
The new house down in the valley is so big that Grandma says "Finally a home that can contain the whole family."
How it came to be
A roof over a valley with its mouth open. Two things that hold whatever is put in them, which is why the one word is to contain, to allow, and how much room there is.
用法
- Two senses: "to contain/allow" and "appearance." 容量 (róngliàng) capacity, 内容 (nèiróng) content - vs 笑容 (xiàoróng) smile, 面容 (miànróng) facial features.
- 容易 (róngyì) = easy is its top word: 很容易 (hěn róngyì) very easy. 形容 (xíngróng) = to describe/portray (in words).
- 从容 (cóngróng) = calm and unhurried; 好容易 (hǎoróngyì) confusingly means "only with great difficulty," same as 好不容易 - a classic false-transparent trap.
