About
The character "诪" is the simplified form of the traditional character "譸", which is composed of the semantic component 言 (speech) and the phonetic component 壽 (longevity). In its traditional form, the character originally carried the meaning of a curse or imprecation, a sense derived from its association with spoken words. Over time, its primary meaning shifted to denote deception or fraudulent talk, specifically to cheat or swindle through language. The simplified form retains the speech radical 讠but replaces the complex phonetic component 壽 with the simplified 寿.
