About

The word 蜘蛛 is formed by combining two phonosemantic characters, each constructed with the radical 虫, indicating it is an insect or creature, and a phonetic component: 蜘 incorporates 知 to suggest the sound "zhī", while 蛛 incorporates 朱 to suggest the sound "zhū", together creating the disyllabic term for "spider".
