About
The character "踊" conveys the concept of leaping or dancing, and its composition pairs the radical "足" for foot with the phonetic "甬" to indicate both sound and the inherent idea of motion, a structure that has historically emphasized physical activity through the foot component while the phonetic element guided pronunciation. Over time, the meaning of "踊" has retained its core reference to jumping but has also broadened to include dance and patterned steps, illustrating a semantic extension from simple movement to expressive action, with its traditional form "踴" employing identical components to underscore the character's enduring connection to propelled movement through its etymological construction.
