About
The traditional character 詞 is composed of the speech radical 言 (yán) on the left, indicating its connection to spoken language, and the phonetic component 司 (sī) on the right. The simplified form 词 retains the same phonetic component but uses the simplified radical 讠 (yán). Originally, it referred to spoken phrases or the expression of thought through speech. Over time, the meaning broadened to include formal literary works, and it became the specific term for a classical Chinese poetic genre with uneven lines. Today, its primary sense is a word or term in vocabulary.
