About
The character "撵" originates from its traditional form "攆", which is structurally composed of the hand radical on the left and the component "輦" on the right, the latter historically denoting a human-drawn carriage, thus suggesting an initial meaning tied to the physical act of pushing or driving such a vehicle. This concrete sense gradually expanded to encompass more figurative applications, such as expelling or chasing away people or objects, reflecting a semantic shift from specific manual labor to general notions of forced removal or pursuit. The simplified form "撵" maintains the hand radical while modifying the right component to "辇", a orthographic adjustment that preserves the phonetic connection and core meaning but reduces visual complexity. Through its evolution, the character has consistently conveyed ideas of ousting or catching up, with its usage stabilizing around these interconnected concepts despite changes in form and contextual application.
