About
姿 is a phono-semantic compound character describing posture, appearance, or carriage. Its semantic component 女 (nǚ, woman) at the bottom historically linked the character to descriptions of feminine grace and beauty. The upper component, 次 (cì), provides the phonetic element. While originally associated with female aesthetics, the meaning expanded to denote the general stance or physical attitude of any person. It is commonly used in terms related to bodily movement, facial expression, and natural poise or charm.
