About
The character "趸" is the simplified form of the traditional character "躉", which structurally combines the component "萬" meaning ten thousand with "足" meaning foot, together suggesting a sense of abundance or fullness. Etymologically, this composition points to the concept of wholesale trade, where "萬" implies a large number and "足" conveys sufficiency, leading to its original association with gathering or accumulating goods in bulk. Over time, its meaning narrowed to specifically denote buying or selling in large quantities, and the simplified version replaces "萬" with "万" while retaining "足", thus preserving the visual indication of its commercial sense.
