About
The character '绊' derives from its traditional form '絆', which integrates the silk radical '糸' denoting fibrous bindings with the phonetic component '半' to indicate sound, originally representing the act of being entangled or impeded by a rope or tether. Its meaning gradually extended from such physical restraints to encompass abstract obstacles and hindrances in a general sense. Through later figurative use, the term acquired a layered significance in describing human relationships, where it conveys the enduring ties that connect people, often implying a complex interplay of attachment and constraint.
