About
The character 雇 is a phono-semantic compound, combining the door radical 户 as the phonetic component with the short-tailed bird radical 隹 as the original semantic element. It initially referred to migratory birds like quails or doves. Through phonetic borrowing, the character later lost this avian meaning and came to signify hiring, employing, or renting services. To clarify this commercial sense, the human radical 亻 was often added to form the traditional character 僱.
