About
The character 滑 is structured as a phono-semantic compound, integrating the water radical 氵 with the phonetic component 骨 to indicate both meaning and sound, initially denoting physical slipperiness associated with wet or oily surfaces. Over time, this concrete meaning expanded into abstract applications, such as describing fluent yet insincere speech or cunning behavior, reflecting a metaphorical extension from tactile smoothness to social and verbal lubricity without altering its fundamental composition.
