畵
부수: 田
획수: 14획
畵 has the meanings ‘to draw’, ‘painting’ and ‘picture’.
畵 = 聿 + 田 + 凵
X = semantic + semantic + distinguishing mark
• 聿 depicts a hand holding a brush and represents the meaning ‘to draw’.
• 田 depicts a field divided by paths. In 畵, it represents a division being drawn.
• 凵 is a distinguishing mark added to represent a boundary.

畵 = ’to define (draw) land boundaries’ ➔ ’to draw’ ➔ ’to paint’
