The character 著 zhù ‘notable/famous’ (​显著, 著​名) combines ​艹(​草) cǎo ‘grass’, and ​者 zhě (phonosemantic); formerly wr. ​箸.
    Note: In the corresponding Shuōwén Seal form ​箸 the component is ​竹 ‘bamboo’ (not ​艹 ‘grass’); the form 著 (with ​艹) was created later, to clearly distinguish meanings such as ​箸/著 zhù ‘notable/famous’ from the primary meaning of ​箸 zhù ‘(bamboo) chopsticks’ (​箸​子).
    Among simple form characters, ​着 is used instead of 著, except when the pronunciation is zhù (as in 著​名 zhùmíng ‘notable/famous’, 著​作 zhùzuò ‘write/book’).
