树(F樹) [shù] tree (树木); 树林 woods; 树干 tree trunk; 树立 set up, establish; 树木 plant trees; 树艺 plant/cultivate; 树人 educate
One monosyllabic entry in The ABC Chinese-English Comprehensive Dictionary (namespace Ci):
►¹shù* 树[樹] {A} n. ①tree M: ²kē 棵 ②Surname ◆v. plant; cultivate ◆b.f. set up; establish; uphold ►¹shùlì 树立
The simple-form character 树 (9 strokes) is an abbrev. of the full-form character 樹 (16 strokes), replacing the full-form component 尌 (12 strokes) with a shape like 对 (5 strokes).
Note: 对 as a simple-form component corresponds to the full-form component 尌 (the left part 壴 becomes 又); 对 does not replace 尌 in any other simple-form characters; cf. full form 廚, in which 壴 in the full-form component 尌 becomes 豆 in the simple form 厨 (that inner component ⿰豆寸 is not an independent character).
Note: 对 duì ‘toward’ as an independent simple-form character corresponds to the full-form character 對 (unrelated to 尌, though somewhat similar in structure)
The Shuōwén Seal form of 树/樹 shù ‘tree’ (grown up straight) combines 木 mù ‘tree’, and 尌 shù ‘stand up straight’ (phonosemantic); formerly wr. 𡬾, in which the component 木 overwrites the top part 之(𡳿) of 壴(𧯛) in 尌.
Note: The component 尌 shù ‘stand/set up (straight/vertical)’ is later wr. 树/樹 (树立).
Compare: 丨 shù, 竖/豎 shù ‘vertical’ (竖直).
Compare: 直(𥄂) zhí ‘straight/vertical’ (垂直), 植 zhí ‘plant’ (植物).
Compare: 厨/廚 chú ‘kitchen’; 澍 shù ‘timely rain’.
