About
The character "倦", denoting tiredness or weariness, is structurally composed of the human radical "亻" paired with the component "卷", which provides phonetic guidance while also carrying a semantic association with curling or coiling, metaphorically evoking a physical collapse from exhaustion. Initially centered on describing physical fatigue, its meaning broadened over centuries to encompass mental strain and a general sense of disinterest or satiety, as seen in compound words like "厌倦". This expansion in semantic scope illustrates how the character has adapted to convey both corporeal and psychological dimensions of fatigue while maintaining its consistent graphical form throughout historical texts.
