About

诲 is a phonosemantic compound and the simplified form of 誨. In the traditional character, 言 ('speech') on the left conveys the meaning, and 每 on the right indicates the sound. Simplified, the speech radical contracts to 讠, while 每 stays the same. The character denotes teaching, advising, or admonishing through speech, often with a hierarchical implication of an elder or superior instructing a younger or subordinate person. In classical texts it typically refers to formal education or earnest moral instruction meant to shape character and intellectual growth.
