About
仿 is a phonosemantic compound: the 亻 radical (person) on the left indicates the meaning, while 方 on the right provides the sound. It is the simplified form of 彷. The person radical points to human action, so its core meaning is to imitate or copy a model. Over time, it also came to express resemblance or similarity, that one thing is like another. 仿 functions as a verb for copying behaviors, and as an adjective or conjunction indicating likeness between two entities.
