About
The character "列" originates from a structural composition where the element "歹" implies a association with bone or residual matter, integrated with "刂", the knife radical denoting cutting, collectively conveying an initial sense of severing or parting. This core notion of physical division progressively broadened to incorporate the idea of systematic arrangement, as the act of separating entities naturally lent itself to ordering them into rows or sequences. Consequently, its semantic scope expanded to include meanings such as to list, to categorize, or to stand in a series, reflecting a transition from concrete action to abstract organization, while its traditional graphical form has persisted with consistent components throughout its historical usage.
