dawn, dry in the sun

晞 is composed of 日 (sun) and 希 (hope). The original meaning of 希 is a type of high-grade fabric, which extends to the sense of being few or not much. Therefore, 晞 conveys the idea of the faint state of sunlight at dawn, and means daybreak. In addition, when the sun first rises, the dew from the night is evaporated by the heat. From this, 晞 also carries the meaning of drying in the sun.
