About
Formed from the semantic radical "土", meaning earth, and the phonetic component "夸", which indicates its pronunciation, the character "垮" inherently conveys the idea of collapse, originally describing the physical falling of structures made of soil or similar materials. Its meaning progressively extended beyond literal disintegration to encompass metaphorical failures, such as the breakdown of authority or the defeat of morale, while its structural composition has remained unchanged throughout its historical usage.
