About
The character "倾" is etymologically formed from the person radical 亻 combined with the component 顷, which suggests a sense of inclination or leaning, and its traditional form "傾" similarly integrates 亻 with 頃. Originally denoting a physical tilt or slant, the character's meaning expanded to include actions like pouring out liquids, the collapse of edifices, and metaphorical applications such as devoting one's entire attention or affection, illustrating a progression from concrete physical orientations to abstract expressions of intensity or downfall.
