About
The character 涿, meaning to drip or drop, combines the water radical 氵 with the component 豖, which primarily functions as a phonetic element in its construction. Its etymology links to the concept of liquid falling in small quantities, and this core meaning has continued from early usage to the present. While retaining its association with dripping, the character also appears in place names such as Zhuozhou. The structural integrity of 氵 and 豖 has defined the character across its history without alteration.
