About
结 is the simplified form of the traditional character 結, which is a phono-semantic compound combining 糹 (silk) for meaning and 吉 for sound. In the simplified version, the silk radical is 纟. The radical evokes the tangible actions of tying knots, binding threads, and weaving. From this literal tying, the character's meaning expanded into abstract areas of connection and completion, such as forming relationships, concluding matters, summarizing results, and the biological process of bearing fruit or producing seeds.
