The Shuōwén Seal form of 城(􂙬) chéng ‘inner defensive city wall’ combines 土 tǔ ‘ground’ and 成(􂤶) chéng ‘accomplish’ (phonosemantic); the 成 component is said to be phonosemantic (not simply phonetic) because the meaning ‘city’ relates to 盛(􀶒) shèng ‘flourishing’ and chéng ‘full/contain’: when the wall is finished, the walled city full of people flourishes (attains/achieves a high state of urban development/culture); an old variant form 𩫨(􂙭) has 𩫏(􀹴𩫖) guō/yōng ‘city wall’ instead of 土.
