About
The character "搔" is structured with the hand radical on the left and the component "蚤" on the right, which serves as a phonetic indicator while also carrying its own meaning of flea, thus etymologically linking the act of scratching to the irritation caused by such parasites. Over centuries, its primary sense of scraping or itching with the fingers has remained central, though it has occasionally extended to imply causing annoyance or mild disturbance. The integrity of its form has been maintained, with the compositional logic continuing to reflect the tangible action and its common stimulus.
