Simplified form of 辭.
About
The character 辞 (cí) combines the speech-related radical 舌 (shé) on the left with the component 辛 (xīn) on the right. Its traditional form, 辭, was more complex and historically associated with dispute resolution or legal discourse. The core meaning revolves around language, diction, and classical literary forms like poetry. From this linguistic base, the character evolved to encompass the act of taking leave, which now commonly expresses declining, resigning, or bidding farewell.
