About
The character 诓 (traditional: 誆) is a phono-semantic compound meaning to deceive through speech. Its left-side radical 讠 (simplified from 言) places it in the semantic field of communication. The right component 匡 provides the pronunciation. Essentially, it means to cheat or trick someone with false words. This verb is commonly used in colloquial compounds related to hoaxing or bluffing, showing how language can be used to mislead and exploit trust.
