About
The character "辞" derives from its traditional form "辭", structurally composed of an element related to speech or action combined with "辛", which denotes arduousness or legal severity, indicating an original association with formal disputation and judicial language. Its meaning gradually broadened from these specific contexts of argument and plea to encompass general linguistic expression, including vocabulary, literary style, and poetic form. Subsequently, it developed verbal senses such as to decline, to resign from a position, and to bid farewell, reflecting an extension from collective rhetoric to individual acts of refusal or departure.
