About
泻, written traditionally as 瀉, is a phono-semantic compound. Its water radical 氵 on the left indicates a connection to fluid movement, while the component 寫 on the right provides the phonetic cue. The core meaning describes a rapid, forceful, or uncontrolled downward flow of liquid, like water rushing down a slope. This concept extends to medicine, where it denotes diarrhea, the sudden, uncontrollable expulsion of bodily fluids, and more generally to any leakage or sudden depletion.
