“Place a cover on it! Imagine a thin, elegant cloth being draped over a precious object to keep it safe from dust or prying eyes. This radical represents the act of "covering" or "settling" a character. When you see it at the top, think of the "crown" of a copy, the "lid" on a deep bottle, or the way we "settle" into a final state.”
