乔治 (Qiáo zhì) — George (name)

An abstract idea shown by a mark or a diagram rather than by a picture of an object.

This origin belongs to the traditional form 喬; 乔 is its simplified writing.

The traditional form 喬 was built by adding a distinguishing mark to an older character for 'tall'; the simplified 乔 is just a later shorthand.

Most characters — around four in five — are built this way: one part hints at the meaning, the other at the pronunciation.

治 has 水 (water) and 台; 台 gives the sound, and the character named a river.
