About
The character "撸", whose traditional form is "擼", is structured as a phono-semantic compound combining the hand radical (扌) to signify actions related to the hand and the component "鲁" primarily providing phonetic guidance. Its etymology is grounded in manual motions, originally denoting physical acts like stroking or rubbing, as seen in contexts involving animals or objects. Over centuries, the character's application expanded beyond literal touch to embrace metaphorical and colloquial uses, such as in the repetitive consumption of food like skewers or the engrossing engagement in activities like coding or gaming, illustrating a semantic shift that incorporates both tangible and abstract repetitions while retaining its foundational link to hand-based endeavors.
