About
The character '俨' is the simplified counterpart of the traditional form '儼', which etymologically combines the person radical '亻' with the phonetic and semantic component '嚴', meaning strict or solemn, thus originally denoting a dignified human presence. Its meaning has consistently revolved around solemnity and formality, reflecting a stable semantic trajectory from classical to contemporary usage. The simplified structure replaces the complex '嚴' with '严', itself a simplified form of that component, preserving the phonetic cue while adhering to the person radical, so the character continues to signal a sense of austere and respectful bearing through its compositional logic.
