About
The character 侏, formed by the person radical 亻 paired with the phonetic component 朱, has consistently functioned as a phono-semantic compound where the radical categorizes it within human attributes and the phonetic suggests its pronunciation. Its etymological construction points to a long-standing association with diminished physical size, specifically referring to short stature or dwarfism, a meaning that has remained central and specialized over time without significant expansion into other semantic areas. The traditional form of the character, which retains these original components without structural alteration, reflects a stable orthographic history where its primary use in compounds like 侏儒 continues to emphasize this focused conception of human shortness.
