About
The character "绎", simplified from its traditional form "繹", structurally integrates the silk radical with the component "睪", a combination that originally denoted the tangible process of drawing out or unraveling silk threads. From this concrete foundation, the meaning expanded into abstract realms, evolving to signify continuous deduction or elaborate explanation in intellectual and narrative contexts. Over time, its application shifted from describing physical actions to encompassing methods of logical inference and detailed exposition, all while preserving the core concept of progressive unfolding or endless continuation inherent in its etymological origins.
