泰

tài

safe

Mt Tai 泰山[Tai4 Shan1] in Shandong; abbr. for Thailand; peaceful; most; grand

a picture of 泰 → grand, peaceful, supreme

The water radical (氺) appears at the base of 泰, evoking abundance and flow — things that are grand and at peace have enough. The upper portion's exact origin is debated, but the overall character came to mean supreme safety and grandeur, as in the great Mt. Tai.
