Character 梢

6819/20992

梢 means the tip or end of something, especially a treetop or branch tip. In Chinese it appears in 树梢 “treetop,” 眉梢 “eyebrow tip,” and 末梢 “peripheral”; in Japanese it reads こずえ for a tree's outer branches. The earliest source defensible here is its Han-era Shuowen Jiezi entry, which pairs 木 as the meaning side with 肖 as the sound side.

Text symbol

What 梢 means

It names a tip or endpoint, not a mood. In the sources checked here, no single inventor or ritual purpose is established. The tree-tip sense broadened to the end of an object, formation, rod, or boat; later sources link the boat-stern use with 艄.

Mandarin reads it shāo; Japanese uses こずえ or ショウ. A lone 梢 needs its surrounding word and language, so copy it from the palette above and read the whole compound.
