About
The traditional character "獵" is structured with the "犬" radical, denoting a connection to animals, and the phonetic component "巤". Its simplified counterpart "猎" retains the "犬" radical but replaces the phonetic with "昔". The character's core meaning has always been "to hunt", referring to the pursuit of wild game, and it has developed extended uses in modern contexts to imply searching or chasing in a broader sense.
