About
The character "付" is structurally composed of the person radical "亻" alongside the component "寸", which historically functioned as a phonetic element, and its etymology directly conveys the act of a person handing over an object. This core concept of delivery or transfer has remained central to its use, while its meaning broadened to include associated actions like making a payment, entrusting a duty, or assigning value, thereby adapting to various transactional and social frameworks. Its graphical form has sustained a stable composition over time, without substantial alteration, continuing to emphasize notions of exchange and consignment.
