About
The character "努" is structurally composed of the component "奴", which historically carried connotations of servitude or subordination, combined with "力", meaning strength or effort, forming a semantic compound that originally suggested exertion under duress or the labor of a servant. Over time, this association with compelled or burdensome toil softened, and the character's meaning generalized to denote diligent effort and earnest endeavor in a broader sense, shedding much of its earlier implication of forced labor while retaining the core idea of applying one's strength. Its traditional form is identical to its simplified counterpart, making it one of the many characters that remained unchanged in structure.
