藏
cáng
to conceal
to hide away; to harbor; to store; to collect
grass (艹) + phonetic (臧) = tucking something away under cover
The grass radical suggests something tucked away beneath dense vegetation — plants as natural cover or concealment. 臧 mainly provides the sound cáng; the meaning of hiding is carried by the plant cover above.
他把钱藏在床底下。
tā bǎ qián cáng zài chuáng dǐ xia。

她不想让人知道，就把日记藏了起来。
tā bù xiǎng ràng rén zhī dào，jiù bǎ rì jì cáng le qǐ lái。
