"Accumulated weediness" (The first character has the fanqie: 氳 + 粉 [yùn]. Ma's commentary on the Analects says: '蘊 means to store.' Du's commentary on the Zuozhuan says: '蘊 means gathered algae'; it also says: 'To accumulate.' Guo's commentary on the Fangyan says: '蘊藉 means luxuriant.' The second character has the fanqie: 武 + 撫 [wǔ]. Jia's commentary on the Guoyu says: '蕪 means overgrown with weeds.' The Shuowen jiezi says both derive from the grass radical with 縕 and 無 as phonetics. 縕 has the fanqie: 氳 + 運 [yùn]; 蘊 is also in the falling tone).
