About
概 is a phono-semantic compound with the wood radical 木 on the left and the phonetic component 既 on the right, which suggests the sound and carries a sense of 'already.' Originally, it denoted a wooden leveling stick used to strike off excess grain in a measure, ensuring a flat, uniform surface. This concrete action of establishing a standard measure naturally extended to abstract ideas of general outlines, broad categories, and approximations.
