About
The word "倾轧" is formed by combining two characters: "倾", meaning to lean or incline, derived from the radical "人" (person) and the phonetic component "顷", suggesting a tilting motion; and "轧", meaning to roll or crush, derived from the radical "车" (vehicle) and the component "乙", implying pressure or grinding. Together, they create a compound word where the actions of leaning and crushing metaphorically convey the sense of internal conflict or jostling, as in one force pressing against another.
