About
The character 恤, structured with a heart radical alongside the component for blood, etymologically suggests compassion tied to blood relations or shared vitality, with traditional variants like 卹 and 賉 preserving this core composition to reflect an initial sense of pity, sympathy, or the act of providing relief. Its semantic range gradually broadened to encompass notions of general care and consolation, while modern linguistic adaptation has seen it employed in loanword compounds such as T恤 for T-shirt, indicating a functional shift from its original emotional foundations.
