About
The character 职, the simplified form of 職, is a phono-semantic compound. Its left component, the ear radical 耳, suggests an action related to hearing, while the right component 只 provides the phonetic element. Its original meaning referred to the duties of ancient officials who listened to and recorded events or decrees. This concept of official responsibility later broadened to encompass any formal occupation, professional job, or the duties assigned to an individual.
