About
The character 敏, formed from the phonetic element 每 and the semantic radical 攵 which denotes action, originally denoted physical quickness and diligence in early Chinese texts. Its meaning gradually broadened to include mental swiftness and perceptiveness, evolving into modern connotations of sensitivity and intellectual acuity. While its graphical composition has remained stable, the conceptual shift from external speed to internal keenness reflects the character's adaptive usage over time.
