庭

By extension, 庭 can also imply the open space within a residence or the premises of a house.

庭 is a phonosemantic compound character, made up of:

广 (엄) – meaning house, building, shelter (semantic component)

廷 (정) – providing the sound.

Thus, 庭 conveys the sense of a domestic or formal enclosed space, from a family courtyard to more institutional places like courtrooms.

법정 (法庭) – courtroom

가정 (家庭) – household, family

정원 (庭園) – garden
