About
The character 谅, simplified from 諒, is a phono-semantic compound related to communication. Its left component, the simplified speech radical 讠 (from 言), indicates a semantic connection to speech and words. The right component, 京, functions solely as the phonetic element. Originally, 谅 meant to speak truthfully, be sincere, or keep one's word. Its meaning later evolved toward mutual understanding, sympathy, and forgiveness, reflecting the verbal or mental acknowledgment of someone's difficult situation or excusable error.
