About
The traditional character "郵" is composed of the component "垂" and the radical "邑" (appearing as "阝" on the right), where "邑" signifies a settlement or place and "垂" likely functioned as a phonetic element, together referring to postal relay stations, while the simplified form "邮" replaces "垂" with "由" to provide a phonetic cue and keeps "阝" to maintain the place-associated meaning, and historically, the term described the network of courier stations for transmitting messages and goods, with its meaning eventually condensing to specifically indicate the postal system and correspondence.
