About
The character 蹄, denoting the hoof of an animal, is formed from the semantic radical 足, meaning foot, and the phonetic component 帝, which guides its pronunciation. This structural combination has persisted through its history, with the foot element consistently linking the character to the physical extremity of certain mammals. Its primary meaning has remained focused on the hard tip of an animal's foot, particularly of horses and cattle, while occasionally extending to describe objects bearing a similar form. The etymological clarity of its construction has ensured that its association with the concept of a foot part has been preserved without significant alteration in its semantic range over time.
