About
踹 is a phono-semantic compound: 足 (written as 𧾷 on the left) provides the meaning, while 耑 provides the pronunciation chuài. The character denotes kicking, stamping, or trampling with the sole or heel, often carrying the connotation of a heavy, downward stomp rather than a sweeping kick. It is actively used in modern Chinese to describe forceful kicking actions, such as kicking a door open or kicking an object away.
