容
容 ＝ 宀 ＋ 谷
ㄖㄨㄥˊ · róng
verb/noun — to hold, contain; the face
字源 FORM — what the parts do
宀義a roof
IFT≠gǔ → róng — worn past any family; older graphs write 公 as the donor
A roof (宀) over 谷 — the holder and the sound. The sense is to contain: 容器 the vessel, 容納 making room. Room made for people becomes tolerance (容忍, 容許); what a face holds becomes its look (容貌, 笑容). The sound wore far, gǔ to róng — and older graphs write 公 in the valley's place.
故事 STORY — a scene to remember it by
屋頂（宀）底下，東西一件一件搬進來，都裝得下。
Under the roof (宀), things come in one by one — all of it fits.
