About

The word "宣称" is formed by combining the character "宣", meaning to declare or announce, which itself consists of the radical "宀" (roof) suggesting a place of proclamation and the component "亘" indicating spreading, with the character "称", meaning to call or name, composed of the radical "禾" (grain) originally related to weighing and the component "尔" serving as a phonetic element; together these characters logically create the compound meaning of openly stating or asserting something.
