About
The character 挛, with its traditional form 攣, is structured from the phonetic component 䜌 and the semantic component 手, which associates it with the hand. Its early usage referred specifically to the curling or twisting of fingers, and over time its application expanded to denote general muscular convulsions or spasms. In the simplified form, the phonetic element is replaced by 亦 while the 手 component remains, modifying the character's compositional logic without changing its core meaning related to contortion.
