Text symbol

What 缮 means

It makes something whole or ready.

The earliest evidence supported here is the Han-era 《说文解字》 entry, glossed “补也,” “to mend.”

Classical examples use it for walls, defenses, and arms; no single inventor is identified in the sources reviewed.

Later Chinese adds neat transcription. 繕 is traditional: 糸 marks repair; 善 supplies the sound.

Formal and written; it suits repair reports, documents, and literary prose.

Do not read 善’s “good” meaning into 缮.
