About
This phono-semantic compound combines the speech radical 讠 with the phonetic component 旨, with its traditional form 詣 using the full radical 言. The radical associates it with speech and communication, while 旨 indicates its pronunciation. Originally meaning to go to a place, particularly to visit a superior or reach a destination, the sense gradually broadened to describe the level of attainment or proficiency one has achieved. Thus, while it can still mean to visit, the character now primarily refers to the depth of a person's learning, skill, or academic accomplishment.
