About
The character 峨, structured with the mountain radical 山 beside the phonetic component 我, operates as a phono-semantic compound where the radical denotes its association with mountainous features while the phonetic element guides its pronunciation. Etymologically, it originally conveyed the specific idea of high or precipitous peaks, a meaning directly inferred from its composition. Over time, its application broadened from purely physical descriptions to encompass metaphorical expressions of dignity and solemnity in classical poetry and prose, yet its fundamental link to concepts of elevation has persisted without substantial shift. The character's form has remained unchanged, maintaining a consistent visual representation of its semantic and phonetic elements.
