About
The character 概, composed of the wood radical 木 and the phonetic component 既, originally referred to a wooden tool employed for leveling grain in measuring vessels, implying concepts of evenness and standard measure. Its meaning gradually extended from this concrete function to encompass abstract ideas of generality and approximation, leading to contemporary uses that denote 'in general,' 'outline,' or 'without exception,' thereby illustrating a transition from physical utility to linguistic abstraction.
