Etymology
About
A phono-semantic compound, 竾 combines the bamboo radical 竹 (bamboo and bamboo products) with the phonetic 也 (chí). It is a structural variant of 篪, an ancient transverse bamboo flute used in traditional musical ensembles. The 竹 radical indicates the material, while 也, usually a grammatical particle, serves only to indicate the pronunciation and adds no meaning.
