About
The character "蝴" was formed as a phono-semantic construct specifically for the disyllabic word "蝴蝶", with its insect radical "虫" denoting the creature's category and the component "胡" serving primarily to approximate its sound, reflecting a common method in the language's lexical expansion for representing multi-syllabic terms. Its meaning has remained exclusively associated with the butterfly since its creation, without semantic deviation, and the character's structure, integrating these two elements, has persisted unchanged in its specialized role within the compound.
