Origin of 瑞

瑞 combines the radical 王 (jade) with 耑 (a plant sprouting from the ground, also meaning 'tip' or 'beginning'), suggesting a jade token used in ancient rituals to convey blessings or good omens. The jade itself was considered a sacred, auspicious material, so the character came to mean 'auspicious' or 'lucky.'

💡 Memory Tip: Picture a jade king (王) with a sprouting seed (耑) on his crown—a royal sign of good fortune.
