About
Composed of the person radical "亻" alongside the component "乃", the character "仍" finds its etymological origins in notions of repetition and continuity, evident in classical contexts where it served as a verb meaning to follow or to repeat an action. Over time, its verbal force gradually weakened, shifting towards an adverbial function that emphasizes the ongoing nature of a condition, thus coming to mean "still" or "as before" in contemporary usage. This semantic evolution from denoting a specific act to marking persistent states occurred without alteration to the character's fundamental structure, which has consistently retained both its constituent elements.
