About
The character "胚" is etymologically constructed from the "flesh" radical, denoting organic substance, and the component "不", which originally served a phonetic function while implicitly conveying a notion of incompleteness or potential, aligning with its early semantic focus on the nascent stages of biological life. Initially referring specifically to the early formative phase of an embryo, its meaning gradually expanded to metaphorically indicate the rudimentary or incipient state of anything in development, thus broadening its lexical application while retaining its core biological sense. Structurally, the character has maintained a consistent form throughout its history, with its traditional composition remaining unchanged and continuing to represent these conceptual elements.
