About
The character "倏", conveying the sense of swiftness or suddenness, originated from the traditional form "儵" which combined the semantic element "黑" (black) with the phonetic and semantic component "攸" linked to movement. Over centuries, its structure was streamlined into "倏", where "攸" is paired with "犬" (dog), an element that evokes quick motion, thus reinforcing the character's core meaning through imagery. Etymologically, it has consistently expressed rapid action, with its usage in classical literature and modern language remaining focused on describing abrupt or fast occurrences, while its structural evolution shifted from a more complex composition to one that directly aligns with the concept of speed.
