About
The character 亟 originated from a pictorial concept of a person constrained between boundaries, reflecting a state of urgency or extremity, which established its initial sense of hastening or pressing need. Its structure evolved into a form featuring two horizontal strokes enclosing stylized elements that once represented a human figure, now interpreted as 口 and 又, implying action within confines. While the core meaning of urgency has remained constant, classical usage adopted the character to convey frequency or repetition, a secondary meaning that occasionally appears in literary contexts, whereas modern application typically retains the original sense of immediacy in compound words.
