About
The character 侮 is constructed from the semantic component 亻, indicating a person, and the phonetic component 每, which historically suggested its pronunciation. Its core meaning, "to insult" or "to show contempt for", has remained consistent, describing an action directed by one person against another. While the phonetic element 每 no longer closely aligns with the modern pronunciation wǔ, the character's structure and essential meaning have been maintained in its traditional form, which is identical to its simplified counterpart.
