About
The character 详 originates from its traditional form 詳, which structurally combines the semantic component 言, representing speech or language, with 羊 acting primarily as a phonetic element, thereby linking the character to verbal expression and detailed discourse. Its etymological foundation points to an early meaning centered on exhaustive explanation or meticulous scrutiny, a sense that has remained stable throughout its history, encompassing both adjectival uses for describing something as complete and verb forms denoting the act of elaborating with precision. While the simplified variant adapts the speech radical to 讠, this alteration does not obscure the inherent connection to its etymological roots, as the character continues to convey notions of thoroughness and minute attention across classical and modern contexts, maintaining a semantic core focused on detail and comprehensiveness.
