Tips

usage
The 柞 reading is a bound proper-noun reading, used essentially only in 柞水, a county in southern Shaanxi. For the oak tree, use the 柞 reading.

Components

radical
木 mù
tree; wood
Left is the tree radical 木, marking the character as a kind of tree - here the oak, valued for its hard timber and for feeding silkworms.
phonetic
乍 zhà
suddenly (phonetic)
Right is 乍, purely for sound; it gives the zhà reading directly and the zuò reading by a shift. The same phonetic drives 作 and 炸.
