About
The character '赔' (traditional form '賠') is etymologically derived from the semantic component '贝' representing shell currency or valuables, combined with the phonetic element '咅' to form a meaning centered on financial compensation for loss or damage. Its structural composition has consistently highlighted this association with monetary restitution, with the core concept of reimbursing or making amends remaining stable throughout historical usage, while its application gradually broadened to encompass various contexts of indemnity and liability within both personal and contractual obligations.
