About
The character "剖" is structured as a phono-semantic compound, integrating the knife radical "刂" with the component "咅" which historically provided phonetic guidance, thus etymologically linking it to the act of cutting or splitting open with a blade. Initially denoting physical division, as in the dissection of materials or bodies, its meaning gradually broadened to encompass metaphorical separation, thereby acquiring abstract senses such as analysis or thorough investigation. This semantic expansion allowed the character to apply equally to concrete procedures and intellectual inquiries, while its compositional form has persisted without alteration, reflecting a continuity in its conceptual foundation tied to the idea of separation.
