About
The character "诺", derived from the traditional form "諾", etymologically integrates the semantic component "言" indicating speech with the phonetic element "若", collectively underscoring its association with verbal commitment. Historically, this character has consistently denoted the act of assenting or making a promise, a core meaning that has endured from early literary instances into modern usage without significant shift. While its structure was modified in the simplified version, abbreviating the speech radical to "讠", the character maintains its phonetic hint and continues to represent the concept of a spoken pledge, illustrating how its foundational tie to language and agreement has persisted through graphical changes.
