About
The character "绽", originating from the traditional form "綻", is structurally composed of the silk radical denoting threads or fabric and the component "定" which primarily provides phonetic guidance. Its earliest meanings were concretely tied to the physical splitting or bursting open of seams in cloth, indicating a material failure. From this specific context, the semantic application gradually extended to encompass the natural bursting open of buds and flowers, thus shifting from a literal description of rupture to a figurative expression for blooming or flourishing. This evolution in meaning reflects a broadening of usage while the character's core structural elements have consistently pointed to its lexical family and sound.
