About

The character '诣', originating from the traditional form '詣', is constructed from the component '言' for speech and '旨' for purpose, originally conveying the idea of a deliberate visit or arrival. Its meaning expanded over time from denoting physical presence at a location to representing the attainment of a proficient level in skills or knowledge, a transition evident in its use within words such as '造诣'. The structural composition, with '旨' providing phonetic guidance and contributing to the sense of intended outcome, underscores the character's consistent association with achieved ends, whether in movement or intellectual pursuit.
