About
The character 谅, originating from its traditional form 諒, is structurally composed of the speech radical 言 combined with the phonetic element 京, indicating its early association with verbal trust and sincerity. Initially denoting beliefs held to be true or genuine intentions expressed through language, its meaning gradually shifted from mere trustworthiness to encompass the act of forgiving, a transition likely influenced by the concept of accepting someone's word as honest. This evolution continued as the term broadened to imply understanding or making allowances for another's situation, thereby extending its core idea of faith in communication toward more empathetic dimensions of pardon and comprehension.
