About
The character 稚, with its traditional form 穉, structurally combines the semantic radical 禾 (grain) with the phonetic components 隹 and 犀 respectively. Its etymology is agricultural, initially specifying young or late-planted grain, from which the meaning broadened to denote youth and immaturity in humans, animals, and abstract qualities. The graphical form incorporating 隹 later became the more common representation in written usage.
