About
The character 俐 is structured with the person radical 亻 alongside the component 利, which serves as both a phonetic indicator and a semantic contributor conveying sharpness or benefit. Historically, 俐 has almost exclusively appeared within the compound 伶俐, a term that originally pertained to physical agility and nimbleness in movement, directly drawing from the sense of sharpness inherent in 利. This meaning gradually transitioned from describing bodily dexterity to denoting mental acuity and cleverness, reflecting a broader conceptual shift where the attribute of sharpness was applied to intellectual faculties rather than solely physical ones. While the character itself is a later formation not traceable to the most archaic writing stages, its enduring compositional logic consistently represents a person characterized by the keen qualities suggested by its phonetic element.
