About
The character '亵' traces its etymology to notions of intimate clothing, with its traditional form '褻' combining the '衣' radical indicative of garments with '執' implying proximity or handling, originally referring to undergarments worn in private. As societal attitudes linked privacy with potential impropriety, the term's meaning gradually extended to denote disrespectful or indecent conduct, a semantic shift that occurred over long periods of linguistic development. The simplified version '亵' maintains the clothing radical while modifying the other component, yet the core concept remains tied to behaviors or items considered beneath decorum, ultimately evolving into a term primarily associated with obscenity and profanation in contemporary usage.
