About
The character "躬" is structured from the components "身" meaning body and "弓" meaning bow, implying a bent physical posture. Its early use referred to the body or the self, often with an associated sense of bending forward. From this concrete meaning, it developed abstract senses of personal involvement and doing something in one's own person, as seen in compounds emphasizing direct action. The structure of the character continues to reflect these intertwined concepts through its constituent parts.
