About
The character "剑", representing the concept of a sword, is etymologically a phonetic-semantic compound whose traditional form "劍" visibly combines the radical "刀" denoting a blade or knife with the component "僉" primarily supplying phonetic value. This structural arrangement has consistently categorized it as a piercing or cutting instrument, specifically a double-edged weapon, and its core meaning has remained specialized within that martial domain across centuries of use. The graphical simplification of the character altered its compositional balance yet did not induce any significant drift in its fundamental definition, preserving a direct association with the physical object it names.
