About
The traditional character 錄 is a phono-semantic compound, with the metal radical 金 on the left providing the semantic category and the phonetic component 彔 on the right indicating the pronunciation. Its original sense related to the color of metal or the act of carving and casting inscriptions onto metal objects. In the simplified form 录, the metal radical is removed, and the phonetic component is reduced to 彐 above a water-like element 水 below. From the early practice of inscribing on metal, the meaning broadened to encompass writing, recording information, or copying text, and later expanded to include modern audio and video recording.
