About
The character "诽" finds its origin in the traditional form "誹", which structurally integrates the semantic component 言, denoting speech, with 非, a element that conveys negation or error, thus etymologically framing the concept of wrongful or harmful speech. Throughout its historical usage, the character has maintained a core meaning associated with slander and defamation, specifically describing the act of spreading false statements to damage another's reputation. While the graphical form evolved through a simplification of the speech radical to 讠, yielding the current writing "诽", this modification did not shift its fundamental semantic value, which continues to center on verbal calumny and false accusation.
