About
The character "巅", representing a mountain peak, derives from its traditional form "巔", which combines the semantic radical "山" for mountain with the component "顛" that provides both phonetic guidance and the conceptual sense of a top or summit. Etymologically, this character is linked to the idea of the highest point, as "顛" originally denoted the crown of the head before broadening to indicate any apex. Over centuries, the meaning consolidated around physical mountain summits while gradually extending into metaphorical realms to describe the zenith of abstract endeavors or states. Its structural integrity as a compound character has consistently reinforced the association between the mountainous element and the notion of elevation embodied by its constituent parts.
