About
The character "讯", derived from its traditional form "訊", structurally integrates the speech radical "言" (later simplified to "讠") with the component "卂", which historically served a phonetic role, pointing to an original semantic core of questioning or interrogation. Over time, its meaning expanded from the active process of asking to encompass the resultant content, such as news, information, or messages, reflecting a natural linguistic shift where the focus moved from the act of communication to the substance being conveyed. This evolution in meaning, while retaining the character's fundamental association with speech, demonstrates how its usage adapted to meet broader societal needs for denoting exchanged knowledge and reports.
