About
The character 劫 is a phono-semantic compound with the strength radical 力 on the right, indicating the use of physical force, and the component 去 on the left, which provides the phonetic value. Its core meaning relates to coercion and violence, specifically robbing or plundering through force. Beyond this literal sense, the character gained a significant secondary meaning through Buddhist translations, where it came to represent a kalpa, an immense cosmic cycle of time linked to disaster and suffering.
