<WL>森 [sēn] 森林 sēnlín forest; 阴森 shadowy/gloomy; 林木森森 densely wooded@@; (HDZ:) 树木高耸繁密貌; 众多, 众盛; 阴森幽暗貌; 森严; 峙立, 高耸; (姓)
Three 木 (mù) trees. Compare 林 lín.

Three (many) trees make a 森 sēn ‘forest’: the Seal form of 森(􁂷) sēn is said to combine 林(􁂮) lín ‘forest/grove’ together with 木(􀻢) ‘tree’. The old distinction seems to have been between 林 lín ‘forest/grove (on level ground)’, vs. 森 sēn ‘dense valley/hill/mountain forest, with tall trees’. Combined in the word 森林 sēnlín, the meaning is just ‘forest’ today.
 +
But 森 is also used in other compound words with more extended meanings, such as: 森郁 ‘dense/overgrown/jungle’ (森林战 ‘jungle warfare’), 阴森 ‘dark/gloomy’, 鬼森森 ‘weird/uncanny’.
