About
The character "歼" finds its origin in the traditional form "殲", structurally built upon the "歹" radical, which conveys a sense of death or perishable state, combined with the phonetic element "韱" to indicate pronunciation, while its simplified version replaces this complex phonetic with "千", a component chosen for its similar sound, yet the core semantic association with destruction remains intact through the persistent "歹" element. Etymologically, the character has always centered on the concept of annihilation or total eradication, a meaning that has endured without significant shift, consistently used in contexts pertaining to the complete elimination of targets, whether in historical texts discussing military campaigns or in modern language denoting thorough destruction.
