About
The character "侈" is structurally formed from the human radical 亻 and the component 多, meaning many, which together create a visual representation of a person associated with multiplicity or excess. Etymologically, this configuration points to early meanings centered on behavior that oversteps normative bounds, often describing lavish expenditures or arrogant conduct in classical texts. Over the centuries, its semantic range narrowed to emphasize material extravagance and wasteful consumption, while still retaining the fundamental notion of surpassing appropriate limits. The character's composition has remained unchanged, with its components continuing to encode the concept of abundance tied directly to human actions.
