About
The character "咒" originates from the concept of spoken incantations, with its structure featuring duplicated mouths to emphasize repeated or intensified vocalization, reflecting its early association with verbal rituals intended to summon supernatural forces. Initially encompassing a broad range of magical utterances, including both protective blessings and harmful hexes, its meaning gradually narrowed over time to predominantly denote malevolent curses and oaths, while still retaining a place in religious contexts such as Buddhist mantras. An historical variant "呪" further underscores the oral foundation of the character through the inclusion of the mouth radical, reinforcing the persistent link between speech and perceived mystical power throughout its semantic evolution.
