Historical Origins
富 is a phono-semantic compound. The 宀 radical, which looks like a roof, serves as the semantic component, symbolizing something related to a household or shelter. This gives a clue about the meaning, suggesting a sense of protection, stability, or well-being, which are closely associated with wealth. The phonetic component 畐 (fú) offers a hint about the pronunciation of the character.
