About
The character for son-in-law, traditionally written as 壻, integrates the component 士 denoting a man with 胥 conveying the sense of an assistant or official, thus etymologically portraying a male who becomes affiliated with a family through marriage in a supportive capacity. This form later underwent a structural modification, replacing 士 with the radical 女 for woman to create the variant 婿, which more explicitly highlights the marital connection to the daughter within the household. While the core meaning of a daughter's husband has persisted without significant alteration, the evolution from 壻 to 婿 reflects a subtle shift in conceptual emphasis from the son-in-law's auxiliary role toward his relational identity within the family unit.
