About
The character "熟" developed from its predecessor "孰", which originally represented the idea of something being cooked or fully ripe. In its structural composition, "熟" is formed by adding the semantic component "灬", symbolizing fire, to the base "孰", thereby visually emphasizing the application of heat that leads to a state of completeness. This modification reinforced the literal sense of transformation through cooking, and subsequently, the meaning of "熟" expanded beyond the physical domain to describe abstract qualities such as thorough knowledge, intimate familiarity, or a refined skillfulness attained through prolonged experience.
