About
The character "挥" evolved from the traditional form "揮", where the hand radical "扌" indicates actions performed by the hand, and the component "軍" provides phonetic guidance and hints at an early connection to military contexts. Initially referring to gestures such as waving banners or weapons, its meaning expanded over time to encompass general acts of brandishing, swinging, or even dispersing things like funds or efforts. In its current structure, the phonetic part is rendered as "军", yet the character continues to convey notions of manual motion and control, demonstrating how its core idea persisted while its usage diversified.
