露
ㄌㄨˋ · lù
noun/verb — dew; to reveal, expose
字源 FORM — what the parts do
Under the rain roof (雨), water that settles overnight: 露水, the dew on the grass. 路 lù carries the whole sound exactly. Dew sits out in the open where anyone can see it, so the graph also means to lay bare: 暴露, 露面.
故事 STORY — a scene to remember it by
雨（雨）後一夜，露珠擺在草上，路（路）人都看得見——露。
After the rain (雨), dew beads on the grass overnight, in plain view of every passer-by (路) — exposed.
