About

The word "狩猎" is formed by combining two characters with similar meanings. "狩" is composed of the radical "犭" (dog/animal) suggesting a connection to animals, and the component "守" which historically provided phonetic guidance. "猎" similarly uses the radical "犭" and the component "昔" for its sound. Both characters independently mean "to hunt", and their combination reinforces this specific meaning.
