富

Phono-semantic compound:

宀 (집 면, “roof, house”) — denotes dwelling, home.

畐 (가득할 복, “full, abundant”) — provides sound and meaning of “fullness, plenty.”

Thus originally “a household that is full/abundant,” hence “rich, wealthy.”

Often used in compounds such as 富裕 (부유, “wealth”), 富者 (부자, “rich person”), 豐富 (풍부, “abundant”).

富裕 (부유) — wealth, affluence

富者 (부자) — a rich person

豐富 (풍부) — abundant, plentiful

富力 (부력) — financial power, wealth

貧富 (빈부) — poor and rich

Shares its etymological base with 福 (복, blessing) through 畐 (“full vessel, abundance”).

Appears in names of dynasties, places, and family names in East Asia.

Old gloss in Korean: 가멸 부 (“well-provided, well-off”).
