About
The character 仲 is formed by combining the person radical 亻 with the component 中, meaning middle, which phonetically and conceptually informs its sense of central positioning within a human context. Originally, it served specifically to indicate the second-born son in the traditional sequence of brothers, a usage rooted in classical kinship systems. Over centuries, its application broadened from this familial designation to describe any intermediate or mediating role, such as in seasonal terms like midsummer or in contexts of arbitration, thereby generalizing the idea of being between two points or parties while maintaining its fundamental link to human relationships through its semantic radical.
