Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 晴朗 (qínglǎng) for "clear and bright" is composed of two characters: 晴 (qíng) and 朗 (lǎng). The character 晴 originally meant "sun" or "daylight" and was later extended to mean "clear weather" or "sunny". It is composed of the sun radical 日 (rì) and the phonetic component 青 (qīng). The character 朗 originally meant "bright" or "shining" and was later extended to mean "clear" or "distinct". It is composed of the phonetic component 郎 (láng) and the semantic component 目 (mù), which represents the eye. Together, the two characters 晴朗 form a compound word that means "clear and bright", often used to describe the weather.
