About
The character "妒" is structured with the semantic component "女" (woman) on the left and the phonetic component "户" (hù) on the right, originating in early Chinese to denote jealousy, often specifically associated with women. Over centuries, its meaning expanded to encompass envy in a general sense, applicable to any resentment toward another's qualities or successes. The traditional form, also written as "妒" with identical components, appears in classical literature where it frequently described contentious emotions in both domestic and courtly settings.
