About
The character "躺" is a phono-semantic compound formed from the semantic radical "身", meaning body, and the phonetic component "尚", which guides its pronunciation. This character emerged in the later stages of the Chinese writing system to denote the specific action of lying down, drawing directly from the bodily association of its radical. Over centuries, its meaning has remained focused on the act of reclining or lying flat, without substantial semantic shift, while its structural composition of body and sound has persisted unchanged.
