About
The character 悚, signifying terror or fear, etymologically derives from the heart radical 忄 coupled with 束 as a phonetic element, a structure that anchors its meaning in the psychological experience of dread. Throughout its historical usage, the character has consistently conveyed intense apprehension, with its application in compound words and texts reflecting a sustained association with sudden or profound fright rather than undergoing substantial semantic shift.
