字源故事 (Origin Story)

“淹”字左边是“氵”，表示与水相关，右边是“奄”，作声符又兼表意，古意有覆盖、包裹的意思，因此“淹”原意为被水覆盖。The character '淹' consists of '氵' (three-dots water) on the left, denoting a relation to water, and '奄' on the right, which provides the sound and partially the meaning—historically implying to cover or envelop. Thus, '淹' originally means to be covered by water.

字形演变 (Character Evolution)

甲骨文 (Oracle Bone Script):
甲骨文中没有“淹”字的明确记载，但与“水”或“奄”相关的字形已经出现。 There is no clear record of '淹' in Oracle Bone Script, but characters for 'water' and '奄' had already emerged.
金文 (Bronze Inscription):
金文时期“淹”字尚未普及，相关部件如“水”和“奄”单独存在，尚未合用。 '淹' had not become common in Bronze Inscriptions; related components like 'water' and '奄' existed separately but were not combined yet.
小篆 (Small Seal Script):
小篆中“淹”字的结构接近现代，左边为‘水’旁，右为‘奄’，形体修长。 In Small Seal Script, the structure of '淹' closely resembles its modern form, with 'water' on the left and '奄' on the right, the character elongated.
隶书 (Clerical Script):
隶书时期，‘淹’的笔画变得方正平直，更接近现代楷书结构。 In Clerical Script, the strokes of '淹' became more straight and squared, moving closer to the structure of modern Regular Script.
楷书 (现代) (Regular Script (Modern)):
现代楷书中“淹”字书写规范，左为“氵”表水，右为“奄”为声旁与意旁结合。 In modern Regular Script, '淹' is written with '氵' (water radical) on the left and '奄' on the right, combining sound and meaning elements.
