Tips

usage
A rare classical farming term: grain sown late but ripening early, the opposite of 稙 (early-sown grain). You will only meet 穋 in old agricultural writing, not modern speech.

Components

radical
禾 hé
grain; cereal plant
Left is the grain radical 禾, a stalk of cereal bending under its grain. It puts the character in the crop family alongside 稻 (rice) and 稼 (to sow).
phonetic
翏 liù
phonetic element
Right is 翏, here only for sound, giving the lù reading. The same phonetic drives 戮 and 谬.
