About
诸 is a phono-semantic compound and the simplified form of the traditional character 諸. It pairs the speech radical 讠, which points to spoken language, with the phonetic component 者. In classical texts, 诸 frequently served as a contraction of the particles 之 and 乎, functioning as a grammatical device that made formal writing more concise. The character later took on the meaning "all, various, every", and in modern usage it predominantly acts as a plural marker before nouns to indicate a group or multitude.
