象形意义 / 为何这么写 (Pictographic Meaning / Writing Rationale)

“硝”是会意字:左边“石”表示它是一种矿石,右边“肖”本义与气味有关,也象征“蒸发、升华”等意义,结合表示硝石这种易析出晶体、有独特气味的矿物。'硝' is an ideogram: the '石' (stone) radical denotes it is a mineral, while '肖' originally relates to smell, symbolizing evaporation or sublimation, together representing niter—a crystalline mineral with a distinctive odor.
