About
The character "趋", originating from its traditional form "趨", is structurally composed of the radical "走" denoting movement and the phonetic component "芻" which historically guided its pronunciation. Initially conveying the concrete act of hastening or moving swiftly, often with a connotation of respectful urgency, its meaning gradually extended into more abstract domains to indicate inclinations or directions, as evident in contemporary compounds like "趋势" meaning trend. The simplified version "趋" retains this essential composition by condensing the phonetic element to "刍" while continuing to express the idea of directed motion, reflecting a graphical modification that aligns with broader character streamlining practices. This semantic expansion from physical speed to metaphorical tendency demonstrates the character's functional evolution within the linguistic system.
