染=氵(水)+九+木
"木" refer to dye, most archaic dye the ancients harvested from the vegetation of the natural world. According to Historical records, the most frequently-used dye source was Gardenia tree's fruit and radix rubiae/Indian madder/munjeet 's flower. "水" is the requisite raw material in the dyeing process, (only depend it then can put the colours on the textiles uniformly.)?(I don't get it) "九" in antiquity often show/means most, here it's referlong to the ancients dyeing many times, it also refers to the process of dyeing. So, from the structure of "染” it's a explanation book with only a character. records the ancients collect and make dye, they then record the way of using dyes in the textiles's process. So it's a story about Chinese Printing and the dye industry long long ago...
Afterwards, the ancients also use the character "染“ when they use the Chinese brush with writing ink or pigment, because when they use the tint on the white textiles, especially dark tints the dark colous let the textile become dark, making people feel that the textile was contaminated(污染), thus, "染” extends to mean "contaminated(污染)" or "tarnish(玷污).0 votedOctober 18, 20151
