A symbol is something such as an object, picture, written word, sound, or particular mark that represents something else by association, resemblance, or convention.
Enough of technical terms.....its more likely a visualization of a particular word or phrase which is easy to remember.
All languages are made up of symbols. In his work, On Interpretation, Aristotle teaches that:
Spoken words are the symbols of mental experience, and written words are the symbols of spoken words.
The study or interpretation of symbols is known as symbology, and the study of signs is known as semiotics.
further on we will see all about religious symbolism...
