About
庹 is a measurement unit formed by the shelter radical 广 (guǎng) and the component 尺 (chǐ, meaning "ruler"). It originally denoted the span between the fingertips of a person's outstretched arms, roughly equivalent to an English fathom. As a specialized measure for length, often used for fabric, rope, or depth, it has retained this concrete, physical meaning without developing abstract or metaphorical senses.
