涮
shuàn · HSK 7
to rinse
🍲 水 water + 刷 shuā (brush) = swish slices in broth; 刷 also gives the shuàn sound
涮 is the water radical 氵 plus 刷 (shuā, to brush/swipe), which supplies the near-homophone sound shuàn. The core sense is a quick swish in water: rinse something, or hotpot-style dip thin slices in boiling broth. Figurative slang sense is to brush someone off, to trick or fool them.
涮 — water radical 氵 + 刷 (brush, phonetic)
A semantic-phonetic compound: the water radical 氵 supplies the meaning of liquid, while 刷 (shuā, 'to brush/scrub') carries the sound. The original sense was rinsing or swishing something in water, which extended to the modern culinary meaning of swishing thin slices of meat in hot broth (as in 涮羊肉, hot pot).
