In classical writing this character describes a bumper grain harvest.
Tips
history
穰 is not used as a standalone word in modern Chinese (it survives mainly as a surname and in classical "bumper harvest" usage). It is the grain radical 禾 plus the phonetic 襄, the same phonetic in 壤 and 嚷. Its everyday meaning sense is now written 瓤 (pulp).
register
Classical and onomastic only; in modern speech 丰收 is used for a good harvest.
