PASSAGE
A student reads a short text and encounters the unfamiliar character 铁 (tiě, iron/metal). He recognizes the component 钅(metal radical, simplified form of 金) on the left side.
A classmate suggests that because 铁 contains the metal radical 钅, it MUST refer specifically to gold. Why is this classmate's reasoning flawed, and what is a more accurate use of the radical for meaning-making?
