宽容
kuān róng · HSK 7
tolerant
🤗 宽 wide + 容 hold = a wide capacity to hold others = tolerant
宽 means broad or wide, 容 means to contain or hold. Someone 宽容 has wide room to hold other people's faults, so they are lenient and forgiving. The 容 here is the same hold as in capacity.
宽 — roof 宀 + 萈 (phonetic, originally a horned goat)
Originally written with 宀 'roof' over 萈, a horned mountain goat, suggesting a spacious dwelling large enough to house such an animal. The 萈 element also lent its sound. Over time the form simplified to today's 宽, and the meaning shifted from 'spacious house' to the general sense of 'wide, broad, lenient'.
