About
The character "孵", meaning to hatch or incubate, is structurally composed of the component 卵 on the left, representing an egg, and 孚 on the right, which historically functioned as both a phonetic indicator and a semantic component associated with the idea of nurturing or fostering. This combination creates a direct pictorial and conceptual representation of the process of an egg being brooded or brought to life through warmth and care. While the graphical form of the components has been standardized over time for clarity in writing, the core meaning of the character has remained consistently focused on this specific biological process from its earliest usage to the present, without significant expansion or metaphorical shift in its primary definition.
