船舶
せんぱく · senpaku · JLPT N1 · noun
ship
🚢 船 (boat) + 舶 (large vessel) = senpaku, ship. Two ship characters stacked into one word.
船 means boat and 舶 means a large seagoing ship. Together they form a general term for any ocean-going vessel.
船 — boat radical 舟 + 㕣 (phonetic)
船 is a semantic-phonetic compound. The left side 舟 depicts a boat and gives the meaning, while the right side 㕣 originally suggested the sound. Together they refer to a ship or vessel, a meaning that has stayed stable since early seal script.
