住宅
zhùzhái · HSK 6
residence
🏠 zhù (live) + zhái (house) = residence, the whole shebang
主 inside 住 means master — the master stays put. 宅 has a roof radical 宀 over 乇, someone settling under a roof. Together: where the master settles down, a dwelling house.
住 — person radical 亻 + 主 (master/zhǔ, phonetic)
住 is a semantic-phonetic compound. The left side 亻 (person) gives the meaning—something a person does—while 主 supplies the sound, originally 'zhǔ' (master, a lamp standing in place). Together they suggest a person staying put, yielding the senses 'to live, dwell, reside, stop'.
