About
The character "讪", originating from the traditional form "訕", is structurally composed of the speech radical paired with the phonetic element "山", forming a phono-semantic compound that links it to verbal expression. Etymologically, it initially denoted acts of mocking or slandering, with its phonetic component possibly evoking a sense of harshness or abrupt criticism. Over time, its meaning refined from outright defamation to include more subdued forms of contempt, such as sneering or speaking with sarcasm, thus preserving its core association with disparaging speech while aligning with shifts in communicative nuances and social interaction.
