About
The character "巩" originates from its traditional form "鞏", which etymologically combined the radical "革" representing leather with a phonetic component to denote the act of binding or securing with durable materials. Structurally, the simplified form "巩" preserves the phonetic element while omitting the leather radical, thereby refining the character to highlight the abstract notion of firmness without its earlier material association. This compositional change accompanied a semantic evolution from the specific practice of reinforcing physical objects to a more general sense of consolidation and stability, which now defines its primary usage in contemporary language.
