4.82

Graceful and restrained (婉約: the upper character [婉] is pronounced *y[uan]* + *[y]uan* [wǎn]. Du [Yu]'s commentary to the *Zuo zhuan* says: "*Wanyue* means ornate and elegant." The *Yunquan* says: "Charming and graceful." The *Shuowen [jiezi]* says: "*Wan* means yielding and obedient." It is classified under woman (女) with *wan* (宛) phonetic; both are phono-semantic characters).
