<WL>稀 [xī] sparse/scattered; scarce/rare; watery/dilute; 稀饭 gruel; 稀松 sloppy/trivial@@; (HDZ:) 稀疏 (ant. 密); …; 浓度小, 含水分多的; …; (姓)
From () ‘grain’ and 希 xī.
+
The character 稀 seems to have 禾 hé ‘grain’ on the left, and 希 xī (phonetic) on the right, but the traditional explanation is complex.
Etymologically the same word as 希 xī.
+
The Shuōwén Seal form of 稀(􁋢) xī ‘sparse/scattered (grain/grass)’ combines 秝(􁌹) lì ‘sparse (evenly scattered/distributed grain/grass)’ (abbrev.), and 爻(􀣳) yáo/xiào (phonosemantic).
 +
Note: The component 希 (formerly also wr. 𢁫/𢂞/㠻) is not defined in SW; the bottom part 巾(􁓭) is said to be the bottom of 禾(􁋕), the top having been cut off; in compound characters 希 is treated as 稀(􁋢) xī (abbrev. phonetic); cf. .
