About
The character '围', with its traditional form '圍', is etymologically constructed from the enclosure radical '囗' and the component '韦', which originally provided phonetic guidance. Its primary meaning has persistently involved notions of surrounding or creating an enclosure, beginning with literal applications such as encircling walls or defensive perimeters. This conceptual base gradually broadened to encompass abstract forms of encirclement, including tactical maneuvers in warfare or figurative boundaries, yet the character's structural integrity, with the outer radical symbolizing a confined area, has ensured its semantic stability across historical usage.
