About
The character "扩", meaning to expand or enlarge, derives from its traditional form "擴", constructed from the hand radical 扌 combined with the phonetic component "廣" to imply broadening through action. This etymological foundation has consistently conveyed the sense of extension or increase, applied across both literal and figurative contexts without significant shift in its core meaning. The simplified version "扩" retains the hand radical while substituting the complex "廣" with its abbreviated form "广", maintaining a phonetic association while streamlining the character's structure, a modification that did not alter its fundamental semantic value.
