About
The character "传" originates from its traditional form "傳", structurally composed of the person radical "人" alongside the component "專", which implies a concentrated or specialized action, together suggesting the role of an individual in conveying or transferring something. Its earliest core meaning centered on the act of passing something along, such as objects or commands, but over time its semantic scope widened to include the broader dissemination of knowledge, traditions, and doctrines, as well as the process of teaching. This expansion further led to its use in denoting a written account of a life, as seen in the compound "传记". The simplified form "传" retains the person radical while incorporating "专", the simplified version of "專", thus preserving the essential idea of focused transmission through a streamlined graphical structure.
