Origin of 焊

焊 is a phono-semantic compound combining the radical 火 (fire, heat) with 旱 (hàn, which provides pronunciation). The fire component indicates the intense heat required for welding or soldering metals together, while the 旱 component also evokes dryness and heat, reinforcing the concept of high temperature.

💡 Memory Tip: Picture a welder under a blazing sun (旱) using a torch (火) to fuse two metal bars together with intense heat.
