About
The character 逸 is structurally composed of the radical 辶, denoting movement, and the component 兔, meaning rabbit, which together create a pictorial concept of a rabbit in flight, originally conveying the literal sense of escape or fleeing. From this foundational meaning, the term gradually acquired abstract connotations, shifting to describe a state of leisure or freedom from worldly cares, as escape from toil implies relaxation and unburdened ease. Its semantic field further extended to imply surpassing ordinary standards, thus carrying meanings of excellence and distinction, while simultaneously developing associations with indulgence and a life of unrestrained pleasure, demonstrating how a single character's concrete imagery can diversify into a range of valued cultural and personal attributes.
