About
The character 绥 originates from the traditional form 綏, which combines the silk radical 糸 with the component 妥, meaning stable or secure, to create a conceptual blend implying pacification through the metaphor of securing or comforting with silk. In early usage, it primarily conveyed the act of appeasing or calming, often applied in governance or diplomacy to describe the restoration of order. While its core meaning of fostering tranquility has persisted, the character's application has narrowed over time, with the simplified version 绥 retaining the essential structural elements by using the abbreviated silk radical 纟 alongside the unchanged 妥, thus continuing to reflect its etymological roots in both form and sense.
