Characters in this word

Two or more meaningful parts placed together so that their meanings combine into a new one.

This origin belongs to the traditional form 審; 审 is its simplified writing.

宀釆田審

宀宀miánroof
釆釆biànto distinguish
田田tián

The simplified 审 abbreviates the traditional 審, which is built from 宀 (roof) and 釆 (to distinguish); the lower 田 is uncertain.

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