About
Originally depicting a crossroads, the character 行 is a pure ideogram for a thoroughfare or pathway. Its core meaning relates to roads and the physical act of walking. This sense gradually expanded from literal movement to encompass broader actions, behaviors, and the execution of tasks, establishing its common modern usage as a verb meaning "to do" or "to perform". Additionally, the character developed a distinct pronunciation and meaning, read as háng, referring to a row, line, or a profession, a concept derived from shops lining a street.
