About
The character "怦" is a phono-semantic compound formed by the heart radical "忄" and the phonetic component "平", constructing a term that originally functioned as an onomatopoeic representation for the sound of a beating heart. Etymologically, it emerged from direct auditory mimicry of cardiac pulsations, which defined its early usage in literal descriptions of physiological rhythms. Over time, its semantic range extended from purely auditory references to encompass metaphorical expressions of abrupt emotional states, such as fluttering excitement or nervous agitation, often illustrated through the reduplicated form "怦怦". This conceptual evolution reflects a shift from a specific sound-based signifier to a broader indicator of internal psychological reactions, while its structural integrity has been maintained without notable graphical alteration.
