About
The character "肄" initially conveyed the sense of practice or exercise, with its structure combining the component "聿", denoting a brush or writing, and "乂", which primarily functions as a phonetic indicator. Its meaning later specialized to refer specifically to studying or learning, particularly within an institutional setting, and it is now most frequently encountered in the compound "肄业", where it denotes engagement in education without completion of a full program.
