About
The character 蛔 is a phono-semantic compound consisting of the semantic radical 虫, indicating its association with worms or insects, and the phonetic component 回, which provides its pronunciation. Its traditional form is identical to its simplified version, both retaining this structural composition. Etymologically, the character was created to denote the intestinal roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides, and its meaning has remained specifically tied to this parasite without significant alteration over time.
