About
The character "孰" originally conveyed the meaning of something being cooked or ripe, with its structure consisting of the components "享" and "丸". It later acquired a function as an interrogative pronoun meaning "who" or "which", creating ambiguity with its initial sense, which prompted the formation of the derivative character "熟" by adding the "火" component to specifically denote cooked or mature states, thereby leaving "孰" predominantly used for its interrogative role in classical contexts.
