About
The character "略" is structured with the field radical "田" and the phonetic element "各", originating from practices related to land demarcation and planning. Its early meanings centered on the division and seizure of territory, which later evolved to include military strategy and conquest. From these concrete applications, the term acquired more abstract senses, such as a brief outline or summary, and eventually came to denote slightness or moderation in degree. This progression from physical boundaries to conceptual brevity and tactical planning shows how the character's meanings have expanded while maintaining a connection to its foundational idea of setting limits.
