Three 木(mù, tree) is 森(sēn, forest); three 人(rén, preson) is 众(zhòng, crowd). Can you guess what would be the the meaning of 淼(miǎo)? It is made up of three 水(shuǐ), water and means ‘flood.’
Pronunciation
淼 is pronounced miǎo.
Meaning
The character淼（miǎo） was first seen in Oracle bone script in Shang Dynasty, Its meaning is “savor”.
淼（miǎo）is a character made up of three water水（shuǐ）+水+水= 淼（miǎo）. With water appearing so many times in this character it makes sense that 淼 means “flood(n.)” or “ wide expanse of water(adj.).”

烟波浩淼（yān bō hào miǎo）
Meaning: a wide expanse of mist-covered waters
淼茫（miǎománg）
Meaning: A dim-expanse of water stretches as far as the eye can see.
