About
The character "拣" originates from the traditional form "揀", which structurally combines the hand radical indicating manual action with the component "柬" that historically conveys notions of choice or discrimination, thereby embedding the meaning of selecting or picking out by hand within its etymology. This core sense of choosing has remained stable throughout the character's history, even as its written form experienced graphical evolution, including the simplification of its right-hand element, without leading to significant semantic shift. The enduring link between its compositional parts, the hand and the concept of selection, continues to define its usage, maintaining the original conceptual foundation despite changes in its visual representation.
