About
The character "挂", traditionally written as "掛", derives from the action of hanging or attaching, with its structure consistently incorporating the hand radical to denote manual activity alongside a phonetic component that has alternated between "卦" and "圭" to approximate its pronunciation. Etymologically, the character's foundation lies in the concrete act of suspension, but its semantic scope gradually extended to encompass more abstract applications, such as registering one's name, terminating a communication by hanging up, or mentally dwelling on a matter, all while retaining the underlying notion of securing or linking one element to another.
