About
The character "诀" derives from its traditional form "訣", constructed from the speech radical "言" paired with the component "夬", which carries connotations of separation and acts as a phonetic element, originally denoting the spoken words of farewell. Its meaning gradually expanded from this act of parting to encompass the sense of a concise formula or secret method, reflecting an evolution toward the transmission of essential knowledge in a distilled verbal form. In the simplified iteration, the speech component is abbreviated to "讠", while the right-hand element "夬" remains, preserving the intrinsic connection between language and the concepts of parting or pivotal instructions.
