良
good, very
良 is a pictograph depicting a corridor or passageway connecting rooms in a house, originally meaning corridor or passage. Corridors or passages serve as extensions and expansions of a house, implying a higher degree. Thus, 良 means very or extremely. For most people, a higher degree signifies improvement toward something better, so 良 also means good or fine. Its original meaning was later taken over by 廊.
