About
The character "揉" originates from the semantic-phonetic construction combining the hand radical with the component "柔", which provides both pronunciation and the associative meaning of softness, thus encapsulating the action of using the hands to rub or knead something into a supple state. Its early attested uses in classical texts consistently refer to physical manipulations such as working pliant materials or applying friction, a core meaning that has persisted with little variation over time. The character's structure has remained stable, with the hand element clearly denoting manual activity and "柔" reinforcing the outcome of making something flexible, ensuring its continued application in contexts describing tactile processes from crafting to massage.
