About
The character 待 combines the "step" radical 彳 on the left, indicating movement or behavior, with the component 寺 on the right, which serves as the phonetic element. Its core meaning is to wait or pause in place. This sense later broadened to include notions of treating others, handling situations, and hosting guests.
